Oh boy! Another month just flew by… how fast, wasn’t it? I could say that last month was full of activities for my girls and I. I’m not really a fan of holidays cos sometimes it makes me have an anxiety attack for just being too excited. I’m only partaking most of the holidays cos I want my kids to experience it so they won’t shower me with so many WHYs. Month of October is one of my favorite because it’s mostly about Halloween. I like to see people dress up. I like to see people’s faces excited about the preparation of Halloween. Putting a lot of effort to their front yard decorations. I just like to see people happy cos it makes me happy too. Don’t you guys love to see smiling faces rather than stressed and tired? Everytime there’s an occasion, I don’t panic at all even though I’m a kind of a last-minute person. I always try to relax and just go by the flow. Well, it’s just me.
These are my girls highlights from last month but before anything else, their costume first. I know all of you mostly like handmade costumes but unfortunately, my girls were wearing costumes bought at the store. I’m practical, I don’t want to stress out myself about what costume would be impressive. This year my girls were Pink Princess and Princess Belle. I got Yuna’s costume at Party City for only 5 bucks. I’m lucky that she picked that costume. It saved me a lot of money. And Freya was wearing a hand-me-down costume from her big sister. But before that, when we were at Party City, Freya changed her mind when she found out that her big sister was going to buy a new costume. She wanted me to buy her a Fairy costume too but good thing we couldn’t find one so I ended up telling her to wear the Princess Belle and that I’ll just buy her a princess crown to go with it. She was reluctant and thought deeply while I crossed my fingers. At last, I found a Princess Belle wig and that made her say, “OK! I like that wig”. She was so happy and had a big smile on her way out of the store. At that time, I was like “Goshh, thank you Lord!”. I thought I couldn’t get out from that store until we can find a costume similar to a Fairy. Freya is so hard to please, I’m telling you but at least we have an understanding eldest. When I say understanding, I mean she never feels compromised. Whatever you give her she will accept it happily. Well, that shows that siblings are totally different.

The photo above was taken at Franken Plaza in downtown Chicago. It took me forever to get a decent photo because everyone in there was trying to take photos of them. My girls didn’t know where to look. Anyway, let’s go through their Halloween Highlights.
