Halloween Part 1: Como Zoo Boo

I love Halloween! I especially love going to many Halloween events so you really get to show off your costume. I remember having various homemade costumes in one year: one for school, one for gymnastics class, one for trick or treating. So much fun. Now that I'm a mom I love making cute costumes....errr...I mean picking a costume from a big box store with a red bullseye as its logo. And I will say I had a tad bit of guilt when Penelope shrieked with glee over the Elmo costume. I promise I'll let her start picking next year...well, unless I find a unique cute costume that I can't pass up. You've gotta admit there was no way an Elmo costume would be this adorable:

Where's Penelope the gnome?
Oh there she is!!

I should have gotten her a Miss Piggy costume because she can be such a ham! :) (Dad, I know you laughed at that one)

Hiding behind the tree with daddy
I'm so much cuter than him.
The Como Zoo Boo was a great night! We will definitely go again. It was so cute to see her figure out how to trick or treat and say thank you to all the dressed up volunteers. By the end of the path she was running up to everyone giving high fives.
