Halloween - October 1999

Well, after careful consideration, we decided that we'd go ahead and try the Trick-Or-Treating thing. I know what you're thinking: we just wanted another excuse to put our kids in ridiculous outfits.....ok, you're right. But we got some candy out of it too. (and I think they actually liked it, so maybe we'll do it next year too)

A special thanks to Grandma, who made these wonderful costumes by hand. (better you than me)

For the 'unwashed' among you, the kids this year dressed up as characters from the imported BBS/PBS show, TeleTubbies™.

Here, Taylor wears her "Tinky Winky" outfit as we prepare to loot the street.

Matthew seems to be quite happy in his "Dipsy" (nah, I won't even go there) outfit.
Amanda, with her soon-to-be-filled candy-pumpkin is dressed up as "Po".

And Samantha (boy she's just always pumped up!) is about to embark on her journey as "La La".

 

One year we HAVE to do: The Wizard of OZ™

  • Taylor: Dorothy
  • Matthew: Lion
  • Amanda: Scarecrow
  • Samantha: Tin Man

(I can't wait; it's one of my all-time favorite movies)
