Ahoy Matey! Ahhhhrrrrrr!!

My beautiful daughter has dressed-up for Halloween as many characters over the course of her lifetime.  At ten months she was a lady bug - because that is her nick-name - Tia-Bug.  Then she has been Tweety, a bride, a ballerina, a fuzzy lady bug.  So many girly cute outfits. 

Imagine my surprise when this year she wanted to be THIS....

A rough and tumble, take no excusses, follow no ones lead...PIRATE!

But I must say that she made an ADORABLE pirate. 

I really didn't know where to take Tia trick-or-treating this years since we are new to town.  A lady a work with invited us to her house, to park in her driveway and walk her neighborhood.  We walked both sided of about 7 blocks.  Tia got so much candy she couldn't hardly carry her bag.  And I'm telling you...she got GOOD candy....Reeses, Butterfinger, Kit Kat, Snickers, M&Ms...all the goods!!!  And yes, she has been sharing and Mommy is happy about that.  But my thighs aren't.

Tia is already voting on her costume for next year.  She says a cheerleader.  We'll have to refer back here next year to see if she holds true.

Shiver Me Timbers!!!
