A few weeks ago, we celebrated Halloween. 🙂 Then I broke my arm. 😦 So just now I am getting around to posting a few photos. I didn’t take too many pictures this year…I think after 9 years of costumes and dressing up, it just didn’t seem like that big of a deal – to me, that is. The girls still had a ton of fun.
For trick-or-treating, they dressed up as house painters. They were so excited to wear their overalls (complete with paint splotches they drew on with fabric paint!) and hats. They put paint splotches on their faces, stuffed their pockets with paint brushes, rollers, stirring sticks, paint samples and rags, and carried an old paint can for their candy. It was really fun to watch them dream up their costumes and put it all together themselves. And they looked great! Too bad it was so cold that they had to wear coats over everything. People gave them candy anyway. 🙂
The only decent photo I have of them! This was after supper and before they went out trick-or-treating.
The next day, we went to the Pleasant Valley Halloween Party with different costumes. Lily dressed up as a 70s kid with an outfit my mom made me when I was little! Sylvia was an 80s kid with a dress my mom made my sister when she was little. I was a 60s adult with my mom’s Sunny and Cher Original 2 piece purple paisley bell bottoms and tank top. We were awesome! And we had a great time at the party.
The whole crowd!

I don’t think Lily looks much like I did as a girl, but she’s still cute! 🙂
