Have You Seen My Sheep?

I can't believe we pulled it off but somehow we finally talked Yaya out of being a Blutterfly AGAIN for Halloween. It wasn't easy!

I realized she had a new favorite song she had to hear each time we got into the car. I waited to spring my idea on her until the perfect moment while the song was playing. Thankfully she loved it and couldn't wait!  The best part about the costume was it didn't cost a thing.  We re-used the outfit from her ballet recital and borrowed her friend's lace bonnet. Bird made her shepherd's hook from a cardboard wrapping paper tube, a coat hanger, white tape and a pink ribbon we saved from her baby shower.  He also suggested she carry her little prayer lamb from when she was a baby. 

Voila!  Little Bo Peep! 

 

 In years past we had gone to the zoo for Halloween and she spent the night dancing instead of trick or treating.  Trick or treating with a few of her best buddies was too exciting to pass up this year! 
 "Trick or Treat.  Hi! I'm Little Bo Peep!" were the words we heard at every door. I wonder what she'll want to be next year?

P.S.  At 5:13 PM today I was thinking about the baby we're waiting on and I looked up to see a rainbow in the sky.  There was no rain and it was only a sliver of a rainbow so I could very easily have missed it but I didn't.  I told Bird, Boppy (Bird's dad is with us this week) and Yaya.  The portion of the rainbow was small enough Boppy was the only other person to see it.  I wonder whose prayers were answered today.  Could they have been ours?
