Dora Goes Trick or Treating!

Since it gets pretty cold in Colorado on Halloween, I needed to come up with a warmer version of Dora the Explorer. This is my inspiration.

 What Dora would wear to go Trick or Treating in Colorado.

 Pièce de résistance..."Backpack" and "the map!"

Dora and Boots 

 Trust me, I searched high and and low, but alas no one makes a Boots costume for little dogs. Go figure! So, I found a purple monkey costume which was closer to gray than brown I suppose and some red dog boots. Alfie was of course, less than thrilled as usual, but was a good sport and posed for a couple of pictures!

That pesky spoon was just slowing her down!

The Princess and Tinkerbell

Even though she is still too young to eat candy, I took Jenna along with my friend Andrea and her daughter Hannah (aka Tinkerbell) trick or treating. Daddy stayed home to pass out candy. Jenna enjoyed going around the neighborhood in her stroller and really seemed to like being in a costume. Alfie, on the other hand, was less than thrilled to be wearing animal attire. He did like going for a walk though!

Happy Halloween!

Yes, I tortured Alfie as usual and I decorated my belly. Silly, I know, but so necessary since it looks like I swallowed a pumpkin!

You have the right to remain silent....

His mugshot. He looks guilty to me!

Profile view. Doesn't he look pitiful?


Yes, I actually did this to myself and it is much harder to do than it looks!
