As a family we discussed some really great costume ideas that we eventually decided to put off until next year. I just couldn't stress and stretch myself as I am normally apt to do when attempting to do something creative and homemade for my babies. SO, yes, we actually spent money on costumes this year.
Samantha was a "Princess Vampira." I have to admit that she fell right into the role and creeped me out more than once. She loved her make-up and the knee-high black boots that we got her to wear with the outfit. My girl is rockin'!
Riley was "just a regular princess" (if you were to ask Samantha). I think Riley looked especially beautiful. She was really good while getting her nails painted, her hair done (gel, blowdry, bobby pins, hairspray), and then her make-up.
Samantha was famished since we had yet to eat dinner, so she tried to treat herself to an appetizer of Princess Riley. EEK!!
They sure drew a lot of attention while dining at the local Applebee's. Our waiter was a Whoopee Cushion, complete with sound effects. COOL!!
Where, you may ask, did we go trick-or-treating? To our new neighborhood, of course! We were hoping that the current homeowners would be home so that we could introduce ourselves and then demand that they put candy in our children's buckets. But no such luck...they weren't home. It just so happens that tonight was the night of a big high school football game and I think one or both of their sons play on one of the teams.
The evening was going well and they began to work together taking turns ringing the doorbells. The absolute funniest part was Riley stating that each house was "open for business" for her after she retrieved her goodies and retreated from the doors. She also invited passing treaters to look in her bucket at her stash. What a gal!
After a good scrubbing and hair-washing in the tub, they both went to sleep fairly quickly with chocolate coarsing through their veins.
Love to all on this Happy Halloween!
