Halloween 2013 (better late than never)

I LOVE Halloween, so I couldn't leave it out even if it is 3 months late.  I chalk it up to having a baby 4 days later.  I call that a good enough excuse :) (Also the excuse for doing these in my front yard :)

Even though I was hugely pregnant and not motivated to do much, Halloween still held my attention and we had fun doing costumes this year.  Max, of course, wanted to be a Lego man.  The kid is obsessed!  After a couple failed attempts, we got this done at the 11th hour and he loved it (which is all that matters)

Our inspiration (lucky for me he didn't pick something too outrageously complicated!)

 

Jayne requested Strawberry Shortcake. She has (and loves) a couple of my old Strawberry Shortcake books from when I was a girl, so we definitely wanted to go old-school Strawberry. So fun to see Jayne with red hair :)

 

 I can't tell you how many times (on separate occasions) someone said, "Lucy looks just like Cindy Lou Who" So I thought, "Why not, let's do it!" So Lucy Lou Who it was.

Little Lucy Lou Who, no more than two

 

And just for fun, even though my son Charlie wasn't born yet, I thought he should get a costume too!
