Halloween. . . 2009!

OK.
i LOVE halloween!
it is one of my favorite holidays. . . a close second to Christmas.

this time of year just brightens me up and makes me feel all warm and cozy like.
it's fantastic!
the smells in the air. . . the leaves changing. . . pumpkins. . . spooky stuff. . . trick or treating. . . and let's not forget CANDY!
candy candy candy! delicious candy.
how is a holiday dedicated to candy not fantastic?

SO.
every year i get all pumped up about what the girls are going to be.
something different, unique and home made.
i LOVE to make the girls costumes. . . something about the personal touches and the "you aren't going to find that down at the corner market" totally appeals to me.
i think up all year ideas for costumes. is that sick? well. i do anyway.
i have costumes in mind for YEARS to come people!
i know. but i can't help myself!

but. . . narrowing down what the girls are going to be. . . and convincing my subjects that they will like what i want. . . (Indy. . . talking about you girl). . . can be challenging.

but it's done.
that's right.
DONE


i usually wait until the day of Halloween to *surprise* everyone with what the girls are going to be. . . but. . . this year i just can't wait!

so. . . presenting. . . the Plant's Halloween. . . 2009!

Kennedy is. . . a package of PEZ candy!

Indiana is. . . Luke Skywalker in Degobah Fatigues! . . . complete with YODA

are they not super adorable?
i love how each turned out. . . and how they really highlight each of my girls' personalities.
Kendy is sweet but has some "bite"!
Indy is my rough and tumble girl who loves animals. . . and Yoda :)

we took the girls to a local cemetary for the photo shoot. . . wanted to do this for over a year!
i think they turned out fantastic! just enough "scary" :)


SO. . . here's to a Saturday night full of frantic running around in outfits that are not normally "socially acceptable" just to get a sugar high! and if you get a "trick" along the way. . . all the better!
