This year I attempted to sew a princess dress for Lissy. It looks really good in the pictures...just don't look too close! I made Garrett's costume, too...The design that Wyatt wanted cost less to buy...Sorry Gus! He looked awesome...Even though I didn't paint his face black.
This is where her costume sat during Nanny's Halloween Party...
Garrett had a very specific costume design in mind...Copy that from a 5-year-olds brain and this is what you get...Unfortunately, I didn't get it put together in time for the party.
A few of my way-too-grown-up nieces and nephews helping with the decorations...
This is Wyatt...He worked hard at getting this cobweb to look just right...
Lookin' Good, buddy!
Bubble, bubble, toil, and trouble...
There were, um, interesting food choices...
Thank you, DD, for creating a very appetizing side dish, and a lovely mental image that might not leave some of us!
Our Garrett is a little squimish around Halloween spookies...Needlesstosay, he did NOT consume ANY bit of food during the party (he ate cereal later that night).
The eyeballs (carrots and olives). I don't have pictures of the boiled fingers (weiners and almonds) or the bone-bread biscuits.
A few brave souls...
This next image my not be appropriate for some viewers...
Poppy's contribution...It actually tasted pretty good, again, if you can get past the image...
Nanny asked me to come up with some games...Since we were going to have the party in Seattle with Bill, Ric, and Keri's kids I thought of a way to have all of the cousins participate. We had a mystery to solve...The case of the Pinata Loot Caper! It was a lot of fun and I really appreciate Katelan and Lawrence for helping out!
Time for the pinata...A favorite party activity!
Beautiful Butterfly Elizabeth...
Shoeless Lissy...
No-costume Jack...
Sweet Fairy Priscella...
Ironman Garrett...
The only way to tell this is Aliera are the horns sticking out of the pinata...
Belle-of-the-Ball Adele...
The Witch-King Wyatt...
Joker Ryan...
Eygptian Princess Sam...
I made that pinata out of a gift bag...I thought that the kids would smash right through it, but it took a little effort. When it did break open...only confetti and random items fell out...The caper had struck again!
I don't know what my camera was doing or the operator, but all of the pictures from the clue hunt turned out psychodelic on me...
Ahhh, treasure time! Ryan found the loot...Lawrence was the caper!
The Joker mask was a little creepy, but Ryan looked awesome!
This is my go-to costume. It's quick and easy, and doesn't require a lot of thought. Alyssa wanted to try it on...
Jack sucking up jello through a straw...A nanny tradition!
It's ready!!! And, just in time for the big night!
On our way to the Ward Trunk-or-treat...
Alyssa was so proud to wear her new Cinderella dress, tiara, and shoes!!
