As Em' contemplated her costume options for this year's Halloween festivities, she
briefly toyed around with the idea of going as "Captain Underpants" a la Calvin from Calvin & Hobbes. (Note that it is my relief, not hers, that put the emphasis on the word
briefly.)
It is with great relief I tell you that Em finally settled on appearing as the incredibly vain and self-centered Daphne from Scooby-Doo, complete with hot pink mini-dress, go-go boots and a fiery wig. Thank goodness that Cap'n Underpants' threat to the wholesomeness of Halloween was averted at the last moment. Daphne is pictured above with best friend Hermione (aka Bethany).
Maddie has two fabulous mommas to thank for her evening attire. Jennifer Dewolf had a day of Halloween inspired tie-dye madness and just happened to have a white turtleneck onesie leap off the shelves at her screaming "Maddie, Maddie, Maddie". This photo does not do justice to the cuteness of this jack-o-lantern top. A million thanks to the divine Ms. Dewolf. And not to be outdone, Deborah just happened to have the perfect head topper to complete Maddie's ensemble. A handknit pumpkin hat that Deborah had made for her own son, Jo-Jo, last year. Always the generous friend, Deb was more than happy to see her lovely creation pulled back out on the runway.
15 minutes into our trick-or-treating adventures, the lovely Miss Maddie dropped off into la-la land and slept the night away dreaming sweet pumpkin dreams of gourds and gardens and sunlit summer days.....
