When asked by an elderly lady if she was a bee, she replied...
...."No ma'am, I'm a MONARCH butterfly."
Halloween costume, 2009
Ok, so I'm way late on this. Sue me.
Now it'll all be fresh in your minds instead of being blasted with others Halloween pics.
See, Ma, procrastination has it's advantages.
This here's Light of my Life getting all the pumpkin guts out. I love the look on her face.
It's our tradition that she draws the face on the pumpkin (no matter what it comes out to look like after carved) and I carve it. Thank goodness she's gotten better over time.
Here's the end result. Isn't it AWESOME! She rocks!!!!! I also love this picture.
Our little community has an event on the square every Fall and it's always near Halloween. Here's Light of my Life visiting the Fortune Teller. Look closely at her face. You can see how enthralled she is with what she's telling her. Light of my life was totally believing the fortune teller, too. The fortune teller told her "I bet you're a dancer" and Light of my Life was sooooo impressed. She totally forgot (and I didn't correct her) that she was wearing a dance costume as her costume for this event! LOL! I love my little girl.
Ahhhh...here's her costume on Halloween night. This is a homemade costume y'all. And when I say homemade, I mean I tossed a bunch of shit together and called it a costume.
Last year, after Halloween, Wal-Mart was selling all their Halloween stuff for like 75% off. I got 5 pairs of fairy wings for like $1.50 each. This is one of the pairs.
The "dress" is actually a camisole type teenager shirt that I got at the Methodist Rummage Sale for $1. It was pink, but I dyed it purple (thanks RIT dye!).
The purple tights and black boots and black shirt are all hers.
I did her hair up in two separate buns and added flowers and ribbons.
My mom did her face. See the pic below for a close-up. And yes, she decided on that post all by herself. No help from me was needed. She's stretching her dramatic wings. Lord help me.
Look at that make-up job.
By the way, the wings came off and stayed off about halfway through our excursion.
Typical. LOL!
One of the houses we visited had this guy dressed up. He was running around the yard chasing the kids while revving up his chainsaw. Light of my Life and her friend L had a blast.
Here's part of their decorations. I love this!
This is hands down, my favorite Halloween picture! Some random girl getting her SCREAM on as the real life guy in a costume in a REAL LIVE coffin jumped out at her! I love the look on her face. Priceless!
Here's some glasses Light of my Life got as part of her haul. I think they're hysterical!
Next year we've decided to have a Halloween party at our house the weekend before Halloween. I'm dressing up as a vampire and Light of my Life has decided she wants to be my vampire daughter. We're gonna RAWK! (that's for you MAW)
So, how was your Halloween?
Later,
