Dorothy and Nacho

Happy Post Halloween!  We had a pretty low key Halloween this year. It was pouring rain all day and so we weren't even sure if we were going to be able to go trick-or-treating. However, the rains stopped about 4pm so we were able to go! Unfortunately, most of our neighborhood was banking on there not being any trick-or-treaters due to poor weather, so the number of houses that were passing out candy was slim.
So this year Charlotte and I read "The Wizard of Oz" together. She 's wanted to be Dorothy for Halloween ever since then. Don't judge her costume too harshly. I have little time these days for costume making and that tutu got finished about 30 minutes before we had to leave for the trunk-or-treat the weekend before Halloween. Did I mention that Joanne's was out of the blue tulle I needed and had already made half the tutu out of? So, I had to improvise with the white tulle I had in my closet. Not what I was envisioning, but hey...it's dark when they go trick-or-treating, right?

C has a bit of a flair for the dramatics. She insisted I take a few pictures of her "posing." Here is here "scared" face.

J was Nacho Libre this year. Adam and I went to Cozumel and found the mask while we were there. I did not even get a picture with the mask though because he never wanted to wear it.
