and thankfully, the girls were as okay with that idea as i was.
so, cate was a ballerina (thanks to rachel for the hand-me-down dance recital costumes), eme was a royal angel fairy (with a dash of imp), and lily was a royal gypsy sorceress (the gypsy bit - or maybe it was more bellydancer-ish? - courtesy of one of celie's globetrotting adventures).
they joined forces with 2 lsu cheerleaders (one who sustained a nasty fall before the festivities even began...she was a trooper, though, and went on to trick-or-treat with us) and someone related to, but definitely *not*, boba fett (brandon gave me a very in-depth description of his character, but really, i only know the original starwars guys).
it was another wonderful hallowe'en with the bourgeois and einsel families, even though we missed mimi + pops (who were off to wish a dear friend a happy 80th birthday).
now, while the kiddos are snuggled up in their bed, i need to cull the candy so that we won't have to say, "no, you may not have any candy right now" a bazillion times starting november 1st at 7 a.m.!
oh, dear! i am just realizing that we never did carve any pumpkins. maybe the girls won't notice?
They looked wonderful, your girls. :)) Little Cate is really getting bigger - all of a sudden she looks so tall. And with my love for Converse, there is absolutely nothing else a real ballerina can wear. :))
ReplyDeleteLily as a gorgeus gypsy reminds me so much of me, when I had her age. I wanted to be a gypsy several years in a row for Fastelavn (a kind of Halloween we celebrate in Danmark in February - only leaving out the scary part).
And you can tell Eme, that we have never ever seen such a beautiful royal angel fairy before here in Denmark. Eventhough we have several royal people here. They could definitely learn a thing or two about looking adorable. :))
Have a lovely day. :))
