Since D couldn't decide after looking at a couple
He pulled out the old stand by...
And I was thrilled for 2 reasons -
#1) I'm not a fan of Halloween - but the kids, on their OWN, choosing to wear a 'theme'?
Well, that's totally awesome!
and #2) Well, when I bought that Scooby costume for $40 THREE Halloweens ago (back in 2008)...I was annoyed at the price - not any more I'm not!
Because he wore it last year - and the year before that...and WANTED TO WEAR IT AGAIN this year!
Talk about totally getting our money's worth!
(& for the record - it was TOTALLY snug on him but not so bad he was uncomfortable - though there's no WAY we can resurrect it for a 4th year, unless we pass it down to someone shorter!)
And...aren't they CUUUTE!
The official 'Daphne' Costume came with an orange wig and some mock boots -
Well, she wasn't a fan of the wig and despised the boots -
So we bought her her very own pink boots, which she has worn repeatedly...and the hair...
Well, how about a can of orange hair paint?
This was us on Friday afternoon before we headed out to the annual daycare Halloween Party...I was sure I didn't need rush for pictures because we had a party on Saturday to attend and the real deal would be on on Sunday night... plenty of photo opps!
But after spending the night wearing her hair like THIS (& attending not 1 but 2 parties on Friday...) She was completely over it by Saturday morning and opted for the costume - no hair spray, no wig...
And on Sunday - She dug out last year's snow princess costume and wanted to wear that...
And on Sunday - She dug out last year's snow princess costume and wanted to wear that...
My intent was to go to the closest friends/neighbors and go no where else -but they were having such fun -the most they've ever had...even though they were freezing...
I felt terrible she wasn't dressed warmer - and that he didn't have gloves on...
But they trooped right along - all the way down the block and back again...
And when we had finished up on our street - We were met by the welcoming arms of our neighbor friends at our annual bonfire...
Happy Halloween...

How adorable are they! I love that they matched, at least for the time being. Super cute.
So cute! I rocked my Tigger costume this year! Many years ago I spent a fair chunk of change on it (like 40 or 50 dollars) knowing I would get a good number of years out of it. Then again I am an adult and that money was spent on me, not a kiddie costume that would be outgrown in a year or two.
Thanks for sharing your halloween! It was great to see!
