Annie was dressed as Dorothy from the Wizard of Oz. No, we have not let her see the movie. No, that has not stopped her full-on obsession with being Dorothy. She makes everybody call her Dorothy at school and wears a "Dorothy" name tag on the few days when her dress is too disgusting to wear to school. She wears her ruby slippers to sleep every single night. I let her watch a clip of the movie last night that involved the Wicked Witch of the West, and she told me later at bedtime that she thought she might wait until she is 4 to see the rest of the move. Good call, sweetie.
Anyway, since I love a good theme, I had to dress Finn as a Munchin - one of the Lollipop Guild, of course. He does not understand Halloween and could not care less what he wears, which is a bonus. The costume is also super easy to make, which is even better!
Back to the party:
Upon arrival we were greeted by some of the resident dogs. Finn LOVES dogs - almost as much as he loves birds. He was enthralled by them the entire evening.
Annie loves bouncy houses almost as much as Finn loves animals. She was the very first kid who got to bounce that night, which is quite a big deal to the average 3 year old.
She bounced right out of her braids pretty much immediately.
This bouncy house had the added bonus of a rope climb and slide. Pure kid Heaven!
Finn with more dogs. Gosh that kid is cute.
Our favorite teacher from school came to do face painting. You will never guess what Annie wanted on her cheek.
Seriously you will never guess. Oh, wait, something related to the Wizard of Oz? Shocking! You can't see it here, but look at some pictures below and you will see, like some weird cosmic irony, the Wicked Witch of the West.
Finn with more dogs! Okay, these are the same dogs, but now in costumes of their own.
Finn taking one bite of food before tripping (obviously) and falling into the plate, which went all over me. Annie has the same look on her face that she always has at dinnertime. WHAT is THAT? Answer - hamburgers and hot dogs. Why must you look so disgusted?
What is better than one costume? TWO costumes, of course!
Finn - I'm pretty sure he was looking at a dog.
Finn enjoying non-canines! This horse's name is Honey, and indeed she was very sweet.
I love this picture of Toby and Finn. Toby is such an amazing daddy.
Annie riding Honey. And as promised - note the cheek with the Wicked Witch of the West.
A big thanks to Mary Beth for another fun family outing at her farm!
