Howdy, Pardner

Back in September, I asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween, and she surprised me with "cowgirl." I fully expected her to change her mind several times, but apparently she did not inherit the indecisive gene from me because she never wavered. She did however, inform me in no uncertain terms that "cowgirls wear belts."  And after discussing the costume choice with her Grandpa, she added "cowgirls have ropes. Mommy, I need a rope." Gee, thanks, Grandpa. 

Amazingly enough, lassoes come in pink. And the rest was easy to find right here in the heart of the west. 

Dang it, rodeo never looked so good. And by the way, these poses and expressions were entirely her idea. Being a cowgirl is very serious business.

Although I did manage to coax a smile for the grandparents. And also to prove that she really did love her costume. 

Especially the cowgirl belt. And also the pink boots. Which she told me she will wear until Christmas. This is a good thing since I am cheap and bought them two sizes too big so that she can wear them from now until she is in second grade. :)

Yahoo!!!!!!!! Happy Halloween, y'all.
