Wherein Peter Pan Loses Tink

The Sink Girl and I as Peter Pans. Lovely, eh?

I'm just gonna get this one out of the way right off the bat. I look awful, but since it's apparently the only one we took of ourselves that night, it will just have to do.

But it WAS hilarious. Except I lost my sword (sorry munchkin!). And then my duo thought it wasn't sexy enough, so she ripped the collar area down until my girls were practically on display. I was rocking the Flashdance one- shoulder thing all night, thanks Nic!

The original idea was for the boys to be Peter Pans and for us to be Tinkerbells. But alas, no adult sized green tights were to be found, only some neon green fishnets in our size. . .so we thought WE should be Pans and the BOYS should go as Tink. And hell if we didn't whip up the CUTEST Tink outfits for them. I mean, we SEWED. Green felt and tulle flying everywhere, because of course this idea hit us just a few hours before we had to actually be at the party. We made WINGS for them for godness sake. And WANDS.

And then wouldn't you know? They refused to wear them. Just like that. No siree, I'm not wearing pink tights and wings they say.

Hmm, maybe in retrospect I don't really blame them.

A few of our Halloween highlights for you. . .


My little Elmo.


My big cowboy.


Or maybe The Marlboro Man.


See boys, this could have been you.



Our town has a Halloween Howling Dog Parade on Main Street, where people dress up their dogs and then, um, parade them down the street. All the shops have candy for the kids trick or treating, and hordes of them just make their way up and down the street until the candy runs out. All the little kiddos had a great time.


Mr. T. He had a good time too.


The munchkin found a twin.


And then chased a bear.


And then followed Dorothy and Toto to Oz. We all had fun watching the little guy nearly pee his pants every time someone gave him a lolly pop. He nearly passed out when one shop gave him an enire bag of M&M's!!!

I love Halloween. I love the costumes, the silliness, the candy, the parties. And if you are in need of a Tinkerbell costume, you now know who to ask!
