Okay, so we’re not very scary. But here are the halloweeny pics from tonight.
And let me tell you: getting these people to NOT pose can be quite a challenge. Buncha hams!
Raphael (with a broadsword, yes, so inauthentic, I know):
Flower Princess Anna:
Flower Princess Sarah:
Flower Princess Naiah:
That smile reminds me of Gretel Von Trapp, from The Sound of Music.
Ella went as a cranky baby kept out past bedtime. She was coddled and admired all the same, from the comfort of her sling.
The girls were originally supposed to be flower fairies, but apparently Jason has something against fairies, so we changed to princesses. Cause we’re flexible like that. People still called them fairies. The girls were quick to correct that notion.
All in all, we had fun, and stayed inside at a nearby festival with lots of candy and games and giant inflatable laser tag. Because this year, although it wasn’t as frozen as it’s been on previous Halloweens, it was raining and yucky and not a good night for walking the town trick-or-treating. Thank goodness for the indoors and talented festival organizers!
Love those bunch of hams!
Naiah truly does look like Gretel. She was my favorite von Trapp kid!!
Oh I love those fairy… um… I mean princess girls! And a broadsword really does make the man. Or turtle.
This year I am too embarrassed to show my boys’ costumes. Let’s just say, the older they get, the freakier they want to look…
Those are GREAT. We have a Mommy at church that sewed artificial flowers all over a little knit cap for her 6 month old, then put her in a large galvanized flower pot and hauled her around trunk or treat in a wagon–VERY Anne Geddes. . .and very adorable. I bet Ella liked her sling better. 🙂
LOVE the costumes! Naiah really does look like Gretel there! Now I’m going to be singing the Goodbye song all night. LOL
Too cute! And she does look just like Gretel.
hihi! Renee, I had that Goodbye song stuck in my head too!
Great costumes! Selah was a fairy herself this year, not that your girls were fairies… ehem … hee hee 😉
Gee whiz guys, it was a split second decision. I just had no time to think about what I thought about it.
Upon reflection, I have decided that they were, in the Narnia tradition, flower nymphs. I think if you look at the lovely pictures in this post, you will agree.
