Trick or Treat! by Rainbow Bright, Twink

August 30th, 2007 10:50 PM

INSTRUCTIONS: Go trick or treating on any day/night other than the 31st of October.

Twink and I have gotten into the habit of having "Adventure Tuesdays." This usually involved swimming, museums, parks, etc. But now that she has her own character and we can be collaborators, I believe Tuesdays will turn into "Tasking Tuesdays." I gave quite a bit of thought to what our first task to conquer together might be and gave her a choice....Epic Coloring or Trick or Treating. Seeing that she was already wearing a fairy princess outfit, I was not suprised when she said, "Trick or Treating, let's play dress up!"

After quite a decision making process, she decided that she would masqerade as Ariel from the Little Mermaid and I should wear her wings and boa....making me a....fairy? That was fine with me, any excuse to wear wings is worth it in my mind. With treat bags in tow, we were on our way.

Walking down some busy streets we received quite a few sideways glances along with many smiles. One woman asked us if we were going to a party. When I simply replied with "no, we're trick or treating," she gazed at me strangely, said "good luck" and kept walking. Seeing that Twink is quite a personable gal, we stopped and spoke with many passersby. All seemed get a good laugh out of our shenanigans...I'm glad we had the opportunity to bring about some smiles.

All in all we had a great day. I hope that Tasking Tuesdays continue to be fruitful. I will admit that it's a lot of fun getting to do absolutely ridiculous things with a three year old. Hopefully the lesson of "it's ok to be creative and even a little bit strange" will stick with her for the duration!

Costume Choices

Decisions, decisions...hula girl, fairy princess, Ariel?

Thank goodness she didn't bite her tongue off!

Gettin' Beautiful!

Ariel!

She chose to be The Little Mermaid...her current favorite film.

Yep...Adorable

I'm Not Quite Sure....

On a few occasions I was asked, "what are you?" I guess I'll go with 'poorly put together fairy.' But hey...an excuse to wear wings and a feather boa...why not?

JUMP!!!!

She was pretty excited...the prospect of free candy in august was quite appealing.

Trick or Treat Bag in Tow

In Twink's Words...

"I have to have Ariel hair." This was sufficient for her.

YellowBear...

suprised to see Trick or Treaters on his doorstep.

Stop #1

Staring at the Pink Floyd Poster

Everytime Twink heads to Uncle YellowBear's house she seems to spend quite a bit of time checking out the Pink Floyd poster on the wall. She was also quite interested in the Ganesh tapestry, asking many questions regarding his purpose. Glad to see that we have an inquizative 3 year old on our hands.

Twink & Uncle YellowBear

Gosh, those ears look big on her head!

Cute!

A little YellowBear love.

Pose For The Camera

We asked her if this was an Ariel pose and she sternly told us "no."

"This is an Ariel pose," says Twink

I had no idea that Ariel was into lifting up her skirt.

Searching...

Hmmm....what can we dig up to give a trick or treater in August? We were offered a banana and sunscreen. But much to our delight we walked away with a gun that shot chickens out of it! Sweet.

Another Sweet Prize

At this stop we came away with a toy robot...but the best part was that it said "Flight of the Concords" on the front. If you are unfamiliar...look them up on youtube. It's worth it...Business Time.

Whatcha Got Adaya?

M&M's, Awesome.

She's still clutching the Chicken Shooter...it turned out to be the most coveted prize of the day.

Next Stop

Look at that pose...she should be on TV.

More Candy for the Treat Bag!

Thanks for the goodies, Tuesday Morning.

Yoga Ball...

...Super Fun.

SCORE!

Stuffed animals? That won't even fit in our treat bags!

Just Me and My Shadow

The Spoils

Not a bad day of trick or treating...maybe we should aways go out on days other than Oct 31st...it seems you get more interesting things in your goodie bag.

A Long Day of Driving Around
