So today was the annual Halloween contest at Baby Girl's daycare place. As you may recall, I was stressing over her costume because last year she won and thus set the bar VERY HIGH. Well I my brain was churning and working away when BAM, thought I had a GREAT idea. An idea so fantabuolous, Dogbert was sure to win again. Not that I am that kind of mom or anything. We'd totally be okay if she was only in the top three. I mean, the dog was a bum and you don't always expect greatness from a bum.
But it turns out, bums aren't winners and they aren't even runners up. Now I don't begrudge the winner.
A weimaraner confederate soldier? With his own gun. He totally rocked. He deserved the win. But a doctor ...
I don't think so. Maybe it's sour grapes, maybe it is because Baby Girl is MUCH cuter, or maybe it's the fact that this year there were actual judging criteria this year other than "pick your favorite," but Boo and I are thinking (rationalizing) that Baby Girl was automatically out of the running since she won last year. I mean, come on. How could this sweet little bum not be in the top three?
Fortunately Baby Girl is a good sport and didn't seem to mind the loss. In fact, she seemed a little relieved that she wouldn't have to spend the day in the spa. Cat was also relieved, and grateful, for surviving another year un-costumed.

You were robbed! That was a very funny costume and Baby Girl had that appropriately woefull look - or maybe she was just bummed to have lost :( How's the sweater coming?
Baby girl looked awesome! The perfect homeless dog.
I told you you should have gone with the tulip idea. :P
She was cute though.
My niece is a winner in my book!
