Halloween Recap

I have been busy, busy, busy with family sessions and traveling and such (more on those later), but wanted to quickly post a few pictures from our Halloween marauding. This Halloween was actually the first that David has been able to spend with us. November sweeps (an all-hands-on-deck situation in TVLand) always starts the last week in October, and since he doesn't get home until 7... it's been no dice the last three years. This year, since it was on Saturday, and with a lot of events the weekend before, we were able to make up for any fun he may have missed in the past. Here's what we did:

First up, a trip to Zoo Atlanta for Boo at the Zoo. Both girls were butterflies. Roxy's sheep costume had not yet been completed by her custom seamstresses (that would be my sister and I), so she had to make do as a butterfly. Since I was too lazy to give them antennae or anything, everyone thought they were fairies. They got candy, so they didn't care what people thought they were.
Doesn't Roxy look like a big girl here?

Oooooooo scary!


Now, for the main event. Roxy's seamstresses worked for a good long while to sheep-ify her, only to have her repeatedly refuse to wear it. Only when we agreed to leave the bottom unfastened and told her she had to wear it to get candy (not really true; who's going to refuse candy to a two-year-old, even if she is only wearing a black leotard and sheep ears?) did she consent to putting it on. And isn't she a dear in it? Baaaaaaa...


Ada as a butterfly. She did have antennae when we left our house, but somewhere between the trip to our friends' house, playing with all the other goblins, and decorating a Halloween gingerbread house, they got lost. She also had pretty makeup on, but it got all smudged. So this is what she looked like and it suited her just fine:

All in all, a smashing success. Thank you to Lesley for her mad sheep costume skills!
