Halloween 2013

It's been a quiet week for me around here...well, on the blog, not in my real life!  Just wanted to pop in today to say hello and give you a peek at our Halloween costumes this year.

I was a pitiful documenter of our costumes but have a few snapshots to share.

Ada and Ellie both had been set on being Angelina Ballerina for months now.  Up until a few days ago, that is, when Ada decided she wanted to be Izzy from Jake and the Neverland Pirates (on Disney Junior) and Ellie wanted to be a bunny rabbit.

So I quickly shifted focus, and on such short notice, I think did pretty well pulling it all together!  Here's Ada at her preschool class' Halloween party Wednesday:

She can be so funny about having her picture taken lately - will cover her face and say,"Noooooo!" - so imagine my surprise when she said, "Sure, you can take my picture!" and popped into this little diva pose.

Hilarious.

And here's my sweet little bunny rabbit.

I know the years are numbered of fluffy, little-girl costumes so I really loved dressing Ellie in an unabashedly girly bunny costume.

And as for Scott and I, I have almost no photos - the night went by so quickly!  I pulled together a Black Swan costume with a feathered neck-piece and headband and a black tutu.  You may have seen this photo on Instagram yesterday.

 

Scott cobbled together something yesterday afternoon - he was calling it "Norwegian lifeguard" but there were a lot of people last night who thought he was some kind of superhero. 

 

Such a wallflower, this guy...  

Gotta love it, he sure keeps me laughing.  I couldn't look at him yesterday without bursting into laughter.

Happy weekend to you all!
