The daycare that Tyler and Bella attend held their annual Halloween parade on Friday. The daycare corralled the parents in a roped-offed area and the kids were supposed to walk around what in effect was just a big circle. Bella, seeing that she could reach the desired end point by not going anywhere, dug her heels in and refused to budge. Miss Megan ended up carrying Bella over the parade route. Bella thought this was a good compromise. She didn’t have to waste the energy walking in a circle and had the added benefit that people stopped pulling on her arm. A win-win.

My award for best costume goes to this guy.

I don't know this guy's name, but in my mind he will forever be known as Elvis

I’ll end with a few bonus pictures.

Run, Elmo, run
