Here it is folks....I know you've all been waiting for it....the annual, mandatory Halloween post for your examination:
Exhibit A: Here we have a pretty little Woodland Fairy named Ashlynne in a lovely purple, white and blue Tulle halter dress and lovely purple wings. We aren't quite sure what Woodland Fairies do, except that they dwell in the woods. This one in particular has a lovely flower wand, which she does some magical flowery, woodlandy, fairy type stuff with.
Exhibit B: Feast your eyes on this wonderful skinny bag of bones. From the top of his Frontal Bone to the tip of his phalanges and everywhere in between, Brinton, our Skeleton Man, played the part. He told me he couldn't go Trick-or-Treating and I said Why Not? When he answered he had "NO BODY" to go with him, I about died laughing.
Exhibit C: Aargh Matey's, Ahoy, Avast, and all those other fun Pirate terms. Here you will find my treasure, Captain Jane Sparrow...or ELISEabeth Swann, or just the sassiest little pirate girl you ever did see.
Exhibit D: In true TINKERBELL fashion this little one was a cranky hot mess when it came time for Trick-or-treating. Her lovely green frock in lovely neon and dark greens was handmade by yours truly. Her wings were lovingly purchased at the nearest Walmart. I tried and tried to get a picture but as the sun set and the moon rose higher in the sky it became quite clear to me that a nice picture was out of the question....so I'll settle for the one where she looks like a little blurry fairy ready to take flight.
Exhibit E: Here you will find my sweet little Pumpkin who would not sit still for a picture. As such I got pics of the back of his head, pics of him looking the other way, and some where he is seemingly making faces at me.....this will have to do.
Exhibit F: My dear sweet husband....aargh....Captain Jack-e-miah....he willingly, lovingly took our brood Trick-or-Treating while I stayed home and handed out candy to the masses. I think he got the better job. He would agree.
Exhibit G: That's me...no it's not a costume...I was handing out candy all night...I got bored.
HOWEVER, I did HAVE a costume...which I wore to a Bunco Night and again to our Ward Halloween Chili Cook-off....do you wanna see a pic of that?
Well there you have it...our Halloween Post....until next year.
On Saturday, October 10th, Brinton ran his very first 5k (3.1 miles) at the Jared Coone's Memorial Pumpkin Run to raise funds for cancer research. Because Brinton can't play contact sports he has taken up running as his "sport" of choice. His school has a running club for 2nd through 6th grades called Just Run. He has been training with them for a little over a month to prepare for the race.
