Finally, off we went, one mama and three aunties in tow. She refused to walk - I would set her down on each doorstep and she would quietly reach in a bowl and take her candy, put it in her pumpkin, and promptly reach for pick up with a solemn "up peas". Then I would carry her to the next house. This is why you travel with 3 aunties. Anything less and there's not enough people to take a shift and still collect enough candy for the adults to remotely make the event worthwhile.
The first smile I got was once we were back in the house and she had her first taste of chocolate bar - an Aero to be exact. With her mood having improved somewhat, we tried a photo op - but still to no avail. What you mostly see is a tricky manoever called the "headgear hover", such that said headgear does not actually come to rest upon the reluctant head. So, you have to imagine what the costume might have looked like by combining her body with her aunty's head. I will be amortizing this costume over next year I think.

Well, costumes aren't for everyone. Maybe next year you can do something that involves makeup on her face or more normal clothes since she isn't having anything out of the norm.
Well, she was pretty cute anyway...better luck next year!
We had the reverse... I couldn't get her to wear anything else for three days afterwards. She loved being an elephant.
Hope we get to see you when you come meet Biset.
worth the wait!
Oh, it is adorable, though. She's getting so long!
Awww, what a sweet monster! Next year you won't be able to take it off.
Well as long as you guys got enough candy to be satisfied, then the kid has done her job and continues to earn her keep.
Plus she's adorable no matter what!
