I just have to post a couple more photos of my creative creatures. These photos are from Halloween Day... a day spent almost entirely in costume.
As you can see, the blue bird has her face paint on for the big day. She loved her wings most of all, though, and insisted on putting them on and "tweeting" loudly... even while enjoying a very nice Sunday brunch at Mario's
. The nest isn't featured very well in this photo, but be assured it is covered in leaves and she carefully tended to 6 eggs that day.
The mean witch is finally wearing her hat and a smile. Although she never warmed up to the hat, she did love her dress and wore it all day at school on Friday. She even liked the "sleeves" that added a little sparkle (and an extra layer of warmth) to her arms.
I was just glad to see to see them both enjoying this year's little fantasy.
This last photo is a little deceptive. After all, while both kids crashed after the morning of Halloween fun, both were also up very late that night. I sat beside A's bed (as is my routine) and she lay there singing "5 Little Pumpkins on a Gate" over and over until 10:30 at night.
(In case you've never been introduced, A is laying next to "Kissy" her favorite doll and probably her favorite toy).
"This is the hammock picture for my rats. Its so fuzzy and so thick they might be too warm. Me and mom helped me.
