One Reluctant Cowboy, One Punk-Rock Fairy, and One Witchie With Attitude...

Yes, I know. It's been a while.

I've been rather busy and just plain preoccupied. Lots of changes happenin' around here, but I would rather not discuss them right now, thank you very much. Maybe later...

Anyway, since the days till Halloween are dwindling, I decided to take the tricked-out kiddies out for a pre-run of the costumes and a mini photo shoot (Courtney-style). We went to my Auntie's house since it is way fun for the kids and she has some cool landscaping going on back there.

If you remember last Halloween's costumes, I had a theme: Wizard of Oz. This year, the girls wouldn't go for a theme (no matter how much I tried to coerce them), so we ended up with these:

And:

And, last, but never least:

Thanks Leanne for the use of your yard and for entertaining my kiddies with your horse!

And yes, please hold your applause, I made these costumes. Porter's was the easiest since I just had to make the chaps and vest, Adi's was wonderously simple also, but Piper's was a little bit of a pain (it doesn't help that I don't have the patience to read the instructions all the way through so I end up doing a lot of unpicking).

So, there you go, all of my family who have been begging me to post their costumes. What do ya think?

Oh, and here's a video especially for Dad:

P.S. Adi tore the tuelle on the front of her dress whilest climbing on the playground. I wanted to cry. Hopefully it is fixable, though :)
