Halloween 2010

Lola wanted to be 'the wicked witch of the west' and Ava wanted to be 'glenda the good witch' for Halloween this year. These costumes were inspired by some happy meal toys they've had for a few years. Lola has always been obsessed with the witch and she just HAD to have the green face and everything. (Although, she didn't really want to look in the mirror after we put it on her, because it scared her.) It was too dark to get decent pictures, but at least these document their costumes. Ryan stayed home to hand out candy while I took the girls around the block. We went down our street and turned around one more block and Ava said, "I have enough candy, let's go home". I wasn't going to argue with that!!

The costumes were nice and easy this year. I found Ava's dress at a thrift store for a dollar and just added some length and some tulle. (Oh, and she has a pair of old socks on her arms.) Lola's started with a turtleneck from last year, and then I added some fabric on to it for the skirt.
