hallowe'en

here are some pictures of halloween. ivy was a fairy and aidan was dash from the movie the incredibles. since we were already running late, i didn't get a chance to paint aidan's mask on or slick his hair back, and i didn't get black shoes or boots for him to wear-- but he didn't mind too much. and ivy pulled out the ribbons that were the shoulder straps for her shirt. i didn't have any way to feed them back through the casings, so her shirt was falling down all night. oh well. everyone had fun, and aidan was totally in character the whole evening.

trying things on, last minute

dash's underwear were too tight, i had to remake them.

ivy wasn't sure what was going on, but she liked putting things in that ginormous bag. and she liked jack-o'-lanterns. that's our friend miles the pony behind her.

aidan was running around the entire time, 'cause that's what dash does. he wouldn't hold his bag or say trick or treat--i had to do that--he was mostly interested in examining everyone's decor.

for some reason ivy decided this fake bone looked tasty.

aidan did a lot of rolling on the ground and other action moves, like super heroes do.

i ended up having to put ivy's wings on upside down so they wouldn't flop over, but i think they still looked cute. she was a trooper and kept most of her costume on the whole time.

the wing straps were holding up her shirt.

hope you all had a spooky-fun halloween!
