Keeli and her great grandmother..
I made little cherry pies!!!!!!!!!!
My niece had her party and it was so much fun for the kids... Keeli changed her mind about wanting to be a zombie at 9 o'clock the night before!! My husband went out with her and she found what she wanted to be.. a BUNNY? Why such the drastic change? I have no clue. Instead of the whole costume she wanted just the little stupid package that only came with the ears, tail and bow tie.. Which meant my husband had to hunt for the other stuff, body suit, leggings etc.. He called me a few times about where he could locate the items and what size. I hated that she picked this kind of bunny out because just a couple of years ago she was a cat and it was all the very same stuff. BUT it's about the kids so I didn't say anything. They were out of white leggings, shoes, and everything else that she needed so he had to get black. We made it work. I ended up sewing a bunny belly on her leotards and stuffing it and I sewed the tail on the back. Added some face paint, which BTW sucks! That stuff is a joke. It never seems to dry.
Kennedi's outfit needed a few adjustments at the last minute but personally I think she had the cutest costume there!
Keeli's blood sugars were great. That's something we fear as parents... Candy, sweets, excitement and diabetes are not friends. It's very unpredictable. I wish people understood how hard it is on a child and the parents when the FUN at a party is over shadowed by a disease. I don't put that responsibility off on Keeli. I let her have her fun. I pull her away from time to time for a quick check. I monitor her as discreetly as possible. There is no need for extra attention to be drawn. It was a great day and we didn't let diabetes stand in the way of that. Now we need our Halloween night plan! What kid doesn't want to eat a butt load of candy on Halloween night?
