<\/a><\/p>\nAnd sweet Ella \u2013 well, I\u2019m afraid she\u2019s still at the age where she has no choice, so:<\/p>\n
My reluctant Minnie won\u2019t keep the ears on to save her life. Here\u2019s hoping I can sneak some type of pic on Monday.<\/p>\n I leave you with a spooky Halloween tale: one that will make your teeth chatter and your knees knock. One of a trip through madness and possibly, candy addiction??<\/p>\n Both girls had parties yesterday, Charlie in the morning and Ella at 2. At the end of the day, I chose to hit Ella\u2019s party first and then walk over to pick Charlie up instead of my normal way, which is to pick my mostly independent child up first and then park as close as possible to the toddler building so I don\u2019t have to carry my mostly always screaming crankypants baby too far to the car. This would probably be fine THIS ONE TIME except for the fact that Ella ONLY wants to walk. She doesn\u2019t want to go in the stroller, or be carried, anymore, period.<\/p>\n And did I mention she\u2019s SLOW??? Bless her heart, her little legs only move so fast \u2013 not super conducive to racing to be somewhere (as I am want to do). <\/p>\n I look up at the clock and realize we have 5 minutes to collect her things and haul a** over to the \u201cbig\u201d building to Charlie. So we start the long, slow walk and of course I get impatient and try to pick her up to which she starts screaming bloody murder. Keep in mind I have her backpack, her napmat, and her Halloween treat bag \u2013 and I\u2019m starting to sweat. Because it\u2019s 60 degrees and I\u2019m wearing a scarf AND hat. I know.<\/p>\n I steel my resolve at the door and At this point I\u2019m sweating like a house on fire and ruing Halloween and my children. I order Charlie to stay right behind me crossing the parking lot (as I have no hands for her to hold) and again put my screaming toddler in the football hold and finally make it to the car. By the time I get them both strapped into their carseats I need a stiff drink and a ride to the loony bin. Because I am just that much of a multi-tasker.<\/p>\n I\u2019ve been drinking ever since. Oh, and bingeing on Reese\u2019s Piece\u2019s and mini Twix’s, as I am want to do this time of year. <\/p>\n Happy Halloween, to you and yours!! <\/p>\n I’m linking up with Tracy at Sellabit Mum <\/a>and Jessica at Four Plus an Angel<\/a>!! Grab the button and join the fun!! <\/p>\n<\/a> <\/p>\njust try to make it out alive<\/strike> head into the building and up the stairs. We grab Charlie and her backpack, napmat, and Halloween treat bag and make the long, slow walk back down the stairs and outside. <\/p>\n
