Our older daughter dressed up all day, in one form or another--
 She just wanted to wear the arm warmers. LOL
She only wore this around the house.
We dabbled with a costume idea for baby sister:
 Thinking she could go as a "toy"...
At first she thought it was funny:
But that soon wore off and we knew that wasn't going to get it!
So instead I took a few more photos
 Note the attempt at decorating her pumpkin w/ her feet!LOL
The weather this Halloween was no where near as nice as it was last year! Brrrr. I heard lots of passersby commenting on the fact, too. Everyone was cold. Except for baby Girl... she was toasty enclosed in her stroller seat! Though no one could see her all covered up in the stroller parts-- she made a cute pumpkin!
 Sporting a LL Bean fleece bunting under a piece
of bright orange soft fabric I had in my stash... I just
sort of wrapped it around her to keep warm!
DD12 went Trick-or-Treating as a Vampire Beauty Queen this year. (Her idea.) The costume was pretty easy to make as she already had a formal red dress (one my mother had bought YEARS ago that i'd taken in for her to play dress-ups. Well it actually FITS now! GASP!), and had gotten shoes from a lady here locally that gave her whole wedding ensemble away (including the tiara she wore.)
 note the pantyhose--- she improvised (tore them) so they'd allow her big toe into the shoes. LOL
I sewed the sash from some white cotton fabric I had in my stash and she painted the lettering.
 it says "MISS TRANSYLVANIA 1863"
Makeup base was from a vampire kit and the eye makeup and blush was from my own makeup bag. Teeth were from the mall and a big spot of laughter for us the whole afternoon!LOL
After two hours were were tired and her feet were hurting:
 Blisters were starting to form on her little toes! Ouch!
None the worse for the wear, baby Girl was still content in her stroller, playing with her toys when we arrived back home!
Hope EVERYONE had a safe & FUN Halloween!
