We’re Off To See The Wizard! -

Last Halloween Kate was just a few months old, so it was a holiday that was more for ME than it was for her. And let’s face it. She’s only a little over 1 this year, so again this is a holiday more for ME than for her.

Last year I really wanted to dress her up as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz, but I figured I would save it for when she was more than a teeny, tiny baby. So last year I dressed her up as a watermelon. She will probably kill me for this when she gets older, but it was so much fun. 🙂

This year it was finally time for Dorothy, though. I pieced together her costume from different places. The white peter pan shirt came from a consignment store, the dress from an Etsy shop (Grammas Hugs & Stitches), the shoes from a Facebook flash sale, and the bows from yet another Etsy shop (Lebelle Boutique). I tried it all on Kate last night for a test run, and of course for a photo opportunity! Here is my sweet little Dorothy!

Unlike last year, Kate will actually get to “dress up” for a few Halloween activities. This weekend we’ll be heading to Boo in the Zoo and then next week she’ll get dressed up again for our church’s Halloween activities. Halloween is such a fun holiday. 🙂 Anybody else have a little Dorothy? Or maybe a watermelon? I love to see what ideas other families come up with!
