halloween 2008

so here i sit. its oddly quiet considering how many kids live around here. only two have come.
rob has taken the kids out. i want to be by the door so i'm busying myself on the computer.
as you can see, i decided upon a 1940s type woman. my little button says "buy war bonds" so its
as apparent as possible (ya know...that i don't normally dress as i did in 7th grade...)
here are the kids--the joker and aerwyn
doesn't izsak look fabulous?!

ah...an elf w/out her ears (she didn't want to wear them even though rob made her some)

i got the whole outfit second hand. i lucked out totally!! i think it cost about $10-15!

ryenn's i made from my old jr prom dress that had been moved to the costume box in about 2000. It's been embellished w/ fabric from another faux velvet dress from that era and a shirt i used as mirthril when izsak was frodo.
all in all though. it is weird its so quiet and i'll be glad when everyone is back home. i now totally wish i went w/ them but i thought the door would be non-stop. next year i'll know better. course next year we hope to have a big party!

We LOVE you as a 40's woman! The kids costumes were OUTSTANDING - and you are so clever in creating them!

Pumpkin carving looked great, creativity at work, one and all.

(TMI regarding fleas, tho'.......)

Love you loads and bunches, M&D
