Halloween

Sleeping Beauty pumpkin
For months Gigi has been talking about Halloween. Gigi saw the Wizard of Oz last Christmas and since that time has loved Dorothy. Of course this year she wanted to dress up as Dorothy for Halloween. However, when Gigi plans things she figures out every detail. Here is what she came up with :

Gigi- Dorothy
Madeline- Toto
Bethany- Auntie Em
David- The tin man
Candy- The scarecrow
Tony- The cowardly lion
Grandma Parent (she came out for the week)- Glynda the good witch
Monkey monk (her monkey from build a bear)- the wicked witch of the west
all other stuffed animals- flying monkeys

Everyone mentioned above loves Gigi so much that we all complied. (My mom even let me spray paint her hair pink!)
It was a lot of fun coming up with makeshift costumes. My friend Megan helped me make Gigi's without a pattern...experts please don't look too closely :)

In case you can't tell (from left to right) Glynda, Tin Man, Auntie Em, Scarecrow and lion. Bottom: Dorothy and Toto


Isn't my mom awesome? I still can't believe she let me paint her hair pink!!!


Poor David- When I put his costume on I didn't think about eating.


The girls are already fighting over candy (no we didn't really let Madeline eat any..well not much anyway :) )

We had a blast going to all of the fun Halloween festivities, but Sunday night Gigi and then Madeline came down with a fever and cough. Gigi's has been pretty minor, but Madeline has had a fever of 102.3 degrees on and off today. It's so sad seeing my energetic girls so lethargic. On the bright side I actually get to have some snuggle time.
