Lil' Miss Piggy

So it was inevitable that Halloween would come to this. The signs were all there. Sofia had no interest in her costume at all. Good old Jake had to step up and model for us just so we could get a look at it, and it was a good thing that he is such a good sport or else we would not have known that little Miss Piggy needed some minor alterations. G-ma came to the rescue and patched and adjusted and we tried to make it all fun. Well no need really......Sofia was not going to make this easy.


Torture...torture. Can someone please call someone to come to my rescue!!


Don't you make me put this thing on. Seriously, don't you make me!


NO...NOOOO....NOOOOOOO!!


Success at last. A quick tail twist from Mum and we are off to attempt costume dressing stage two.....the hat.


G-ma tried on the hat....


Nope, not gonna do it!


Yikes, flash forward 12 years or so. I can just picture the teenage version of this face. Is this a little piece of attitude, or what!


Jake the lion pays a visit. Is he not the most adorable lion you have ever seen? Last year, Sofia took one look at Jake dressed as a skunk and promptly burst into tears. I think Sofia fancied the lion a little better and maybe, just maybe if she sees how nicely Jake is wearing his hat she might join in the fun.


C'mon Sof, put the piggy hat on?


Fools.....I will just fling myself down to the ground rather than wear that piggy hat.


Headless pigs do like to hang out on the steps with "munkeys" - a little known Halloween fact.



Pirate Pete and his dad come to join in the fun as well. Peter wouldn't wear his hat either so I don't imagine he will be any help at all in persuading Sofia to give it a try.


Mummy tries the piggy hat on. Stunning don't you think?


Papa wears the piggy hat and sneaks up behind Sofia so that we can get some idea of just how cute this little piggy could be. I'm not buying it Papa!!



Even the "munkey" tries the piggy hat on!!! But wait, what is this? Is it really? Could it be.....?


Sofia is wearing her piggy hat. Blink and you could have missed it but we did get a brief glimpse of the cutest piglet ever. Her costume did come with hooves as well but this mama knew better than to fight that battle.


We had a super Halloween with our friends from the neighbourhood. No trick-or-treating but the kids had fun playing together. I wonder what Sofia will be for Halloween next year? I would imagine she will have a bit of a say in it all and I think she might opt for a costume without a hat.





This is Sofia right after we had finally taken her costume off. She was so happy to be in her shorts and t-shirt again, she was jumping up and down on the costume.


Treats for the kids made by the super talented Meg (of ladybug cake fame).


All tuckered out and snuggling with Papa.
Happy Halloween my little piglet.
