Katie agitated to head out Trick or Treating from the moment she got up this morning. Of course, this is a little girl who's been waiting for Halloween for months. And [livejournal.com profile] daisy_knotwise has been working hard on their costumes for months, including the last rush to finish everything.


Getting Dressed Getting Dressed
The first step is to get the girls into their costumes. This wasn't too difficult with Katie who has been looking forward to being Dora the Explorer for months. Julie was a bit more recalcitrant about her Boots the Monkey (a friend of Dora's) costume and stubbornly refused to wear her tail. And Mommy worked so hard on that tail...
All Dressed All Dressed
And here we have the costume maker and her little girls, all dressed up and ready to go.
And Here's Backpack And Here's Backpack
Of course, you have to get Katie to turn around so that you can get a good look at Dora's backpack.



Julie decided that she wasn't going to go Trick or Treating after all, so she stayed home while Katie and I headed out for an hour and a half of canvassing the neighborhood. And a good time was had by all.

Back at home, the Trick or Treaters have been thin on the ground so far. We'll see what happens after dark.

Great costumes! Our neighborhood is full of Trick-or-Treaters, has been since about 6:20ish, with a very few out before dark. We get on the order of 100+ every year, and some come in from other areas... Tonight, it is VERY cold, in the 40's, which is unusually cold (in recent memory).

Talis usually hosts a party, but decided that she wouldn't this year. I already got questions from one parent who came by with his 2 or 3 little ones. She's gone out to the other party, in a not as good neighborhood, and has said she wants to hold another Halloween party next year.

Aww, Julie didn't get to show off her costume? That's a shame. But the photos are great!

They look great. I hope Katie had a good time walking around the neighborhood.

The costumes are fantastic. The girls looked totally adorable. I had planned on making my girls costumes this year, but with all the time at the hospital for tests, and the costant headaches decided to pass. Now I wish I had. Although I doubt they would have been that wonderful.
