- Ask the weatherman to promise you a day in the high 60's even though you live in Chicago.
- Decide that after wearing your Cinderella costume five times you'd like to be Ariel, no Aurora, instead.
- Reluctantly eat a little bit of dinner even though it's only 4:15.
- Sit patiently in a kitchen chair getting the oh-so-important princess glitter sprinkled on your hair and then, the best part of all, get to wear real eyeshadow. Real blue eyeshadow. And lip gloss.
- Put on your fantastic princess dress, sparkly shoes and other princess accessories.
- Run from house to house joyously trick-or-treating, which includes going to the door alone while Mom and Dad hang back a little since, as you say one thousand times a day, "you're such big girls now."
- Ask at every single house, "Is that chocolate?" even though you still believe that "candy is only for Daddy."
- Change out of your princess dress to play with the kids at the neighborhood front yard BBQ. (See number 1.)
- Move to a second neighbor's house for bonfire, s'mores and endless jumping on their trampoline.
- Go home. Declare you're starving. Have a bedtime snack and then fall asleep 10 seconds after your head hits the pillow.
