This year after many weeks of consideration the girls picked out their outfits.
Horsegirl was a witch. She wore a dress that Grandma made for her. She made it specifically for the Renaissance Festival. It's a typical dress of the period and I thought it worked well for a witch. She also wore a black cape Grandma made her. We bought the hat and the really cute broom I found at Michaels.
Supergirl was a Vampire. She wore a outfit bought at a Halloween store. I did her makeup and added scary lipstick blood droplets on her chin. We did have to safety pin her into the dress because it was a little big.
Here they are just before trick or treating.
Horsegirl being oh so old decided that she only wanted to trick or treat on our court. So she did and then Nerdus brought her home. Supergirl said and I quote "less talking more candy" while trick or treating with Nerdus. She came home with so much candy it's ridiculous. I swear it's 10lbs. She being the sweetheart of a girl that she is gave all of her Snickers to her teacher at school. So she has 9lbs of candy. She had a great time.
Tonight we had a Halloween party for them. I had 11 girls in my house this evening including my own. Holy Moley it was fun for them. They painted caskets and frosted some scary sugar cookies and watched "The Nightmare before Christmas". The favorite part of the evening for me was watching the faces on 2 of the girls who were a little scared. Wide eyed with their mouths hangin open. It was classic.
Still waiting for the guinea pig to have her bambinos. I'll update when that happens.
I'm also working on some kickass fingerless gloves that look awesome. I've already finished the wristband parts but oddly enough I only have 3 size 3 dpnds and I need at least 4. So off to the yarn store tomorrow and I have a gift certificate I can use whoo hoo.
