happy boo to you!

I'm a little late with the Halloween post for the year...like everything else nonessential it seems to have slid to the bottom of the to-do pile. We did a sort of low-key Halloween this year, I figured, we have an entire box full of princess dress-up clothes, why the heck go out and spend forty bucks on another one?

Andie, always naked, even when carving pumpkins. It's getting to be pretty bothersome. Girl cannot.keep.her.clothes.on. We dress her multiple times a day...and so, multiple times per day, I am finding piles of Andie clothes in random corners of the house and yard. 

Bet you could guess which pumpkin belongs to which person...I made the cat with the missing ear. That part was an accident. 

These pumpkins are now littered throughout our backyard, the girls had fun smashing them against random tree stumps and rolling them down their playground's slide. Oh we'll maybe it will make good compost for the grass...?

Aili's school does not allow costumes during the day, but did encourage "crazy hair." So here is pippi long stocking. Or farmer girl. Or maybe the Wendy's fast food chain girl. But she's got orangey colored hair. So maybe not her. That hairdo looked so much better when my mom did it on me when I was younger... I sent Aili off on the school bus and prayed that there would not be any coat hanger issues at school. All seemed to be well when she returned home, her only issue she said was that she had to go sideways through a few doors!

That night, for trick-or-treating...

Princess Ariel

...aannnd the witch (a recycled costume of Aili's)

 

I tried to get some cool pictures next to our pumpkins, FAIL. Nobody wanted to sit still for me. And the baby's pig hat (another recycled costume) kept turning around and covering her face.

It was dark out so this was the best I could do with no tripod, and moving subjects. I left the porch light off (the glow is from an indoor light, it was dark out there) because I didn't like the way it made the pictures turn out.

Hope everyone had a most fabulous boo day. I for one was just glad to not be working. Freaky things seem to happen on Halloween!
