on Halloween night...

...we had in our group: a princess riding a unicorn, a doll, a pumpkin and a maverick. those ziploc bags are full to bursting and the contents are going directly to mommy and daddy's tummies. heh heh...


"my fellow Americans..."
ps: this mama was very relieved to have found that pumpkin suit at a thrift store the other day. it solved the problem of how I would possibly sew a costume on time since every other day we were changing our minds. previous ideas included (but were not limited to): a unicorn, a colorful fish, a meerkat, a fan ("so I can blow everyone away"), and a bird.
A's costume was decided for her by us, but she was very happy about it and during dress rehearsal earlier in the week she was proud to announce: "look! a doll is riding her tricycle!" "hey, there's a doll running in circles" "a doll needs a nap." And when she changed back into her regular clothes: "i'm just ah-ma-ree now." phew.

Oh My Goodness. That's hilarious. The Maverick, I mean.

Matt points out that neither McCain nor his one-year-old alter ego can raise their arms above their shoulders, really. They really look alike. :)

"Maverick." I still can't get over that -- YES. Oh, how I've missed this blog.
