We have just loved seeing all of the wonderful photos you’ve been sharing on Instagram and tagging with #RGThope! Somehow September has flown on by, school is no longer “new,” and everyone is craving a pumpkin “something.” The leaves here in the northeast are changing and front porches are decorated with pumpkins & mums. Football games are in full swing, cozy jackets are needed on brisk mornings, and all of our minds are jumping from summer fun to the holidays.

Don’t worry – unlike some stores I’ve been in recently, we aren’t jumping to Christmas (yet!). This month for our #RGThope hashtag project, we would love to see photos of your little ones (or not-so-little ones if the theme fits) dressed up in their Halloween costumes, or just playing dress-up! My daughter, for example, will be sporting a very fun superhero outfit to daycare, and assuming she keeps it on for more than a few minutes, I’ll be sure to post a photo on Instagram! My niece will be sporting her Doc McStuffins outfit, which as already gone through a test run to church, and the girls both love playing dress up for tea parties at Nana’s house – no specific holiday required. We’ll have plenty of opportunities this month to catch them using their imaginations!

So whether your kiddos are dressed up in costumes at parades, school, “trunk-or-treat,” hayrides, barn parties, or just having a good time playing with friends, snap a quick photo, post it on Instagram and add the #RGThope hashtag so we can check it out! We’ll have a new theme next month for you, so make sure you’ve signed up for our emails so you don’t miss any of the wonderful posts we  have planned for you.
