If all clowns were as cute as Mia, I would not have an aversion to them either! Adorable!

Now that is a perfect little clown! So glad to hear that she had a great Halloween!

What an awesome clown costume! Mia is adorable, as always.

We saw *so* many pirates, and a fair share of princesses. Not only did we NOT see any other animal costumes (I had a monkey and a leopard--pics on my blog if you're interested) I don't think I saw any other homemade costumes.

I did, however, see a group of teenagers in full costume out trick-or-treating. They seemed to be doing well, as their candy bags were bulging!

I join you in your dislike of clowns and all things clownish... BUT...........
this is the best clown I have ever seen!!!! If all clowns looked like that I would like them as much as Godiva's and the Red Sox...

I especially like the coordinating shoes.

I agree with you the next official holiday is Thanksgiving but I agree more with certain Pittsburgh area radio personalities that believe the next real holiday is Monday Night Football. : )

And Mia is the cutest little kid ever. She's the reason I'm not sure if I want kids. What if they weren't that adorable?!

I had a pirate and a killer zombie. They pretty much designed their own costumes this year and just needed help with the makeup. I do miss their cute "non-psychotic" costumes though.

She looks great.

Cute! Almost makes me want to go to the circus ... until I remember that most clowns don't look like that.

Adorable as always. I personally don't fear clowns, but if I did, who could fear her?

I wasn't able to hand out candy as I had to head out to class in full costume, hey extra credit is extra credit, but my mother regaled me with stories of pirates, demons, chickens, superheroes, and even a Wednesday.

In general, clowns are so terrifying that they make for perfectly gruesome Halloween costumes. However, Mia is far too adorable to be scary. What a great costume!

I second you on the clown and spider fear...separately horrifying, together I can't even think of the words.

But this particular cute clown in your house could help me get over the clown fear!

Clowns and spiders? So Stephen King's "It" must have really sent you over the edge.

She looks adorable. We did not have a single trick or treater this year. We have a long driveway and kids are getting lazier. Why climb the driveway if the house next door is easier. Sheesh.

We had ridiculously low numbers of kids this year, maybe 13 total. How many did you have? Please reassure me that Halloween is only dying in MY
neighbourhood.

so, so cute.

For the record, My Kid was a clown his first year trick-or-treating too.

I am also not a fan of clowns, but clearly Mia IS the exception. She's so cute! Glad she conquered trick or treating.

You need to warn people before posting pictures with that kind of 'cute' involved. It can potentially cause momentary paralysis.

She's adorable!!

i'm impressed you got her to be something other than a princess.
Isabella was already wearing her snow white costume ON TOP of her cinderella costume when i got home from work yesterday!!

That might just get me over my hatred of clowns. Now when I think clown I can think of Mia in all her clowny cuteness and not that evil Pennywise from Stephen King's It.

I went one step further in the fear department... I dressed Zoe as a spider. But, for an awful creepy 8 legged ick... she was awfully cute. heehee

I am also very anti-clown, although, I was one for Halloween myself when I was about 4 for some reason... I'm guessing my mom just thought it was an easy costume to make.

However, I will make an exception to my anti-clown-ness for Mia... she is very adorable and not at all creepy.

You've got to hand it to her... she pulled off the cute clown very nicely. Very well done.

We took lil' Texas out last night with the same results. After she got the first house under her belt there was no stopping her. Watching your children's epiphanies are a vonderful vonderment...

arhh gaaaruush....

That is the.most.adorable.evah You should enter that into a contest or something! Too freaking cute!

I have never, not once, said what I'm about to say as anti-clown doesn't begin to describe my stance, but:

That is one cute clown.

Oh god. The cuteness! Mia makes one great clown. Hats off to whoever made (or purchased) that costume.

Oh, sweet mother! What a cutie! You know what, minus the hoop in the bottom of the dress, the pom poms and the wig, I would totally dress Little Sis in this to wear to daycare.

She is so adorable!

Clowns are some creepy mofos. But that one is damn cute.

She's a bright as a gumball and looks as sweet as a piece of candy! I'm not a fan of clowns either, but this pic could change my mind.

Very lovely clown! I took my vampire and vampire ghost out trick-or-treating last night while the girls' dad shelled out the candy. Saw a lot of little Jack Sparrows, a fair number of princesses, lots of cats. No clowns though. And one group of teenagers in passable costumes. One really made us laugh though. I think he was going for Jason from Friday the Thirteenth, but the effect was spoiled somewhat by the fact he was wearing a really modern over-the-whole-head goalie mask with a full face cage and the thingie that dangles down to protect the throat. Not much like the original, but we gave him points for trying. And candy.

Oh, her shoes are killing me!

My gosh, she is freaking adorable!

Mia was sooooooo cute! You are way funny, you should seriously consider writing a book :))) You could write one based on your public restroom experiences alone!

She is the cutest clown that has ever clowned the Earth.

the most adorable clown I've ever seen!

Oh My GAWWWSH, that is the cutest clown EVAR!!!

yeah, (un)fortunately my daughter never got over the satge fright and only made it to a couple of doors. so, i'm left to sift through about 6 pieces of candy. i was suposed to be eating candy for a month.

(sigh) better luck next year.

Baby Chuck Taylors! OMG, we match. Well - except hers are smaller and pink. And she has on a (totally freaking cute) clown costume while I chose to rock my Chuck's with blue jeans.

(Not as appealing, I realize.)

We had two black cats this year....which was refreshing amongst the massive wave of pirates and princesses that we ran into out there last night.

Izzy (she just turned two last week) was a bit reluctant at the first few houses, but then she realized that being the youngest (and cutest) trick-or-treater out meant that the little old ladies were giving her 3-4 pieces of candy instead of 1-2 like the other kids. She was running up those front walks as fast as those little tiny legs would carry her. She even managed to take time to pet every single dog that the homeowners had, along with meowing to them. It was awesome.

Now, aren't you sorry that you were so rude and insulting about that costume when I found it? Yeah, I thought you were.

Too cute! She makes a lovely clown!

That is, without a doubt, the cutest clown ever!

Although the fact that she's straight and the rest of the room is tilted is kind of weirding me out. ;)

That is adorable! simply....

Oh dude, I thought there was no way you would have a cuter pic than the adorable ones Beth posted. But wow, I think you did. So. Very. Cute.

Please make it known that I, too, am on The Record (of this blog and my own blog) as having a serious dislike of clowns. Except, of course, Mia the Clown. She's so darn cute I just want to eat her up, clown costume and all. (And no, I'm not sick and twisted. She's just so damn cute!!!)

oh dear.
she's too cute.
i woulda given her all my candy....

Oh My Lord. I can't even stand it. Those leggings! The pink shoes! The facial expression!

So damn cute it shouldn't even be legal.

re: clowns

whatever you do, don't look at today's post over at my place... I have warned you.

I am ascared of clowns...but this one is ADORABLE!
Glad she had a great time and even was able to sleep after! : ) I miss my babies! Oh such fun times!

That is one sweet clown.

She looks so cute. Great costume!

Ok, fine. She's cute, darnit.

That costume is the most adorable clown I have ever seen. Chris your daughter is so precious!!

She's changing my position on clowns too.
