Sleepy Girl

Guess I should have updated that we made it through Sandy and are perfectly safe! We lost power for about 2 hours, but it was no big deal. Dad was in my room helping me when it went out and I was sleeping when it came back on. Mom and dad sat in front of the fire (huzzah for the gas fireplace!) and read books while it was out. We had no tree or water damage, so we were really lucky. Seeing the news coverage of NY and NJ makes me so sad and I wish we could do more to help those people who have suffered so much. So sad :(

I was so thankful that we got to celebrate Halloween as normal on Wednesday this week. I dressed up as Cinderella (I'm just slightly obsessed with princesses these days). This was Tuesday night when I had to gather my costume to get ready for my school parade on Wednesday morning. We had to make sure it all fit and that we could find all of the pieces. The dress is really short, but it's a size 6!!! Crazy. The tiara is mom's that she bought for the Princess Half marathon in February. It even blinks :)



We went trick or treating with Ken, Marie, Arabelle, and Cole on Wednesday. How fun! We had pizza, then got in our costumes and headed out. Look how excited we were!



We walked all over Belle's neighborhood and got tons of candy. My bag got SO heavy and I could barely carry it anymore. Dad kept asking me if I was done trick or treating or if I thought I could carry the bag some more. Needless to say, I carried the heavy bag and got some more candy! It was late by the time we got done, so we came home and I went to bed. We sorted through my candy on Thursday night and I got to eat some Hershey's Kisses (from Marie's mom) while we watched Charlie Brown. Pretty cool. I even shared with mom and dad - I gave dad a Milky Way and Mom a 3 Musketeer's bar. Yum.

This morning I got to go to PT with mom. She had a really early appointment and she didn't have time to get me to school beforehand, so she took me with her. I got to play with her iPad and was really, really good the whole time. I counted for her while she was stretching and got to touch the ice pack and e-stim when she was done. That was fun. I got to school late because of PT, so it was snack time when we got there. It was also pizza Friday, so we didn't have to pack a lunch. I told mom that I ate two whole pieces (but not all of the crust) and a whole container of applesauce. Dad made pad thai for dinner and I totally devoured it :) Yummy shrimp!

I had a nice, long, warm bath tonight, then mom and I read a book. Then I laid my head down on mom's shoulder, and...



Out cold. Mom says she loves still being able to rock her "baby" to sleep :)
