"Castin' My Spell"

I'm castin' my spell on you, I'm castin' my spell on you
I'm castin' my spell on you, you'll never never be untrue

On Friday my friend Sally and I took Melia to Gardner Village for a little outing.  I dressed her up in her witch costume for the occasion.  She really had so much fun checking out all the cute little witches and she loved being outside and watching all the people.
 
Here she is upon our arrival at Gardner Village.  She was so excited to be out an about.

I didn't buy a witch hat for her cause I knew she'd never keep it on, so I made that little headband decoration instead.  But she did try on a hat, it looked pretty darn cute.

 

The big green witch "Fiona" was her favorite!  She was totally hamming it up for the camera and was being so cute!  She even held the froggy's hand.  By the time I was done taking her picture I turned around and realized we'd accumulated a big crowd watching her.  I thought maybe they were waiting to get their pictures with Fiona, but as soon as I picked Melia up to go, they all left too.  :)

 

 It was such a fun outing!  Thanks Sally for the great idea!

Here are just a few other recent pictures.

Cousin Caylie painted Melia's nails.  Melia wouldn't hold still, so it got all over, but it was still adorable.

What happens when Daddy leaves the pantry open!

Lia and Chief lookin out the (filthy) window by the door.   They are always fighting for the view.  :)

Chubby little Halloween kitty!

The kitty walk!  :)

We went to the Home Show last weekend and this is what Melia wore, along with some cute witch slippers.  Her shirt says "Little Devil."  I was shocked at how much attention she got.  I've always been hesitant to put such a huge flower on her head, but it was a big hit!  :)

Okay, this is my FAVORITE outfit.  (With or without the hat.)  Mike didn't like the hat, but I thought it looked cute.  Mike's dad said, "She looks like a cancer survivor" in the hat.  WHATEVER, I think it's cute!

And the dark hat really makes her eyes pop!  I think her little legs look so tan and skinny.

 Ahh I love that girl!
