Halloween Preparations

We've been excited for Halloween since August, so when the calendar flipped from September 30th to October 1st, the Halloween box had to come up from the basement...

Emily found my red witch's lipstick and schmeared some right on

Addie gave me a super cool face with the purple wig on (reminds me of the first time...halloween box)

Elizabeth enjoyed becoming a chicken

This year the big girls brought some decorations up to their room and decorated the top of their dresser

The witch fingers have become a favorite this year

We went to our friends' house in early October and their dressup box was out. Addie dressed up in Clark's spiderman costume and an obsession with spiderman was born. She began looking out for spiderman things - stickers, books, etc. Then we went over to our neighbor's house a couple of weeks ago and there was a giveaway box by the front door. Guess what was lying right on top? An old spiderman costume. Addie got to bring the costume and she was so proud to become SPIDERMAN.

Elizabeth thought the costume was pretty hilarious and got a kick out of looking at Addie's eyes peeking out from that mask.

Another neighbor saw Addie dressed up and had her son bring over his old Flash costume so that Emily could dress up too. Emily felt pretty cool in the costume, and humored me with this photo, but Flash hasn't come back out. Spiderman, on the other hand, can often be found wandering around our house.

Sue and Larry came to town last weekend and brought with them a Batman suit for Elizabeth. She felt like such hot stuff in that costume! She really strutted her stuff, puffing out her chest and being cool.

All 3 girls dressed up as Powerpuff girls with their Professor dad for some Halloween festivities we attended on Saturday, but on Halloween day, Emily will be Hello Kitty (in her words, "I'm pretty into kitties right now."), Elizabeth will be Batman, and Addie is having a hard time choosing between Elsa and Spiderman. Here she is, sort of going with both...
