a family affair




each year we enjoy the process of making costumes and dressing up. this year we went for the street vendor look. daniel and Miss. A were the organ grinder and monkey while i was the pickpocket street urchin. it seems that i lost interest in making a costume for myself after all the others. i went for the quick fix that daniel was nice enough to put together.



last year we dressed Miss. A up as a yard gnome, daniel was a lamp and i was the girl scout. Miss. A made the perfect gnome in both stature and spirit. who knows what next year will bring or how long we have until she starts protesting the costumes but until then we will take advantage of the situation.

Ok -you really outdid yourself this year. Amazing. All of you. That photo looks like it came from a movie. Miss A as the Gnome is still my fav. of all time though. Look at her little grumpy gnome-y mouth!

I am in awe of your great costumes. We never dress up, just the kids, but maybe next year if I can just convince Scott that it would be a good idea. Who knows he might go for it.

Oh-my-God! You guys are hilarious. Scott and I used to dress up before the kids but somehow the focus shifted once they came along. I love this idea and I'm going to start a new family tradition next year. Thanks for the inspiration.

And that gnome has got to be the most darling thing I've ever seen!

Those costumes especially the little monkey are wonderful. I love the mix of fabric for the window covering and all my sympathy to you when i see you painting that skirting board.
