Halloween--4 phases, 4 faces

We had four Halloween events this year (2 Friday and 2 Saturday). We never really nailed down a specific costume before hand, even though they had been "designing" monster costumes for a month. So they ended up with some mood-dressing, choosing a costume as we were running out the door to each event (with about 5 costume changes in between). We had really cool homemade full-body skunk and lizard costumes from the cousins, but those were rejected before each event for being too hot and itchy. So here is what they came up with out of our dress-up clothes:

#1 School party and parade. Arthur- pirate. Adaline- witch.#2 School dance (yes, dance)...DJ, soul train line, the whole bit. Arthur- super hero. Adaline- "fairy princess ballerina Thumbelina."
#3 Costume-themed birthday party. Arthur- clown. Adaline- "little red riding hood swimming in the sea." (Don't ask me. She has a mind of her own. She won most original costume with that one. More like most random.)

I had to put this one in here. He's just too cute. Arthur had a major wipe-out on his scooter on the way to the party. He was a very sad clown, but OK after I cleaned the asphalt off his face. The red nose is face paint, not blood :)#4 Trick or treating. Arthur- pirate, part 2. Adaline- princess fairy, part 2 sort of.
Gigi came in town to join us with Uncle Marshall. We had a great night in the new neighborhood.
