Halloween 2012

This is the year of Cinderella and the pumpkin. 

 Actually, this entire year has centered around Cinderella.  Cinderella is the theme Taryn chose for her 3rd birthday.  She went to see Cinderella, the musical, with my mom & dad a few weeks ago.  And, of course, it was her chosen Halloween costume for the year. 

 Cole did not get a choice in his costume.  It was pretty much the only thing that came small enough to fit him!  The unhappy pumpkin! 

 This costume gives me scared hands! 

For those of you country fans, in a horrible twist of timing, I heard the song "Stealing Cinderella" like 5 times in the weeks around Halloween.  Each time I would just sit there and cry.  I blame a mix of post-pregnancy emotions and dealing with Taryn's changing role from baby of the family to big sister.  Really, that song is like 5 years old.  Why the hell was it on so much that week???  Conspiracy.

 

I came to see her daddy
For a sit down man to man
It wasn't any secret
I'd be asking for her hand

I guess that's why he left me waiting
In the living room by myself
With at least a dozen pictures of her
Sitting on a shelf

She was playing Cinderella
She was riding her first bike
Bouncing on the bed
And looking for a pillow fight

Running through the sprinkler
With a big popsicle grin
Dancing with her dad
Looking up at him

In her eyes I'm Prince Charming
But to him I'm just some fella
Riding in and stealing Cinderella
