Halloween costume update

For those that don't know, Hannah was planning on being a rock star this year for Halloween.

Then, a couple weeks ago, she came to me and offered this argument: "Mommy (uttered a bit too disparagingly for my liking). Halloween is about dressing up as something that you're not in real life. (An astute observation for a 6-yr-old I thought.) But since I'm gonna be a rock star for real, I shouldn't dress up as one for Halloween. I think I should be a witch or a werewolf instead." I couldn't really argue with that logic, so I agreed to a change in costumes.

I gave it a solid week or so, asking her about it every couple of days, to see if she would change her mind. But the only thing that changed was that she decided to be a vampire instead of a witch. (The werewolf was out of the running as soon as she found out that it was more of a boy costume.)

So my little princess is going to be a vampire for Halloween. Is this some kind of evidence that she has a macabre sense of the world? Or is a fascination with biting people and sucking their blood normal for a 6-year-old?


I won't be this exact costume, so watch for pictures later!

It's all of this "Twilight" crap that is making it glamorous to be a vampire these days. All the kids are doing it. J/K. I think your Hannah is the cutest 6 year old ever!. How does she feel about younger men? I have a five year old nephew who I'd like to set her up on a date with in 15 years or so.
BTW - I love that she is going to be a rock star in real life. I just hope she doesn't want to be another Hannah Montana.

Nice! And I think she's good with a younger man. :)

And NO WAY to another Hannah Montana. My Hannah has already been writing songs and she spends recess once a week teaching her "singing group" how to sing the different parts (even the background ooh's for the ones that have trouble holding a tune). A little bossy, I'm sure, but what's a mother to do? I'm too proud that she's following her dream to criticize. :D
