well, to be honest, we are laying a bit low this halloween. elodie has had a cough and a fever since late last night and we are going to maybe do five minutes of trick or treating. thankfully minnie mouse and pippi longstocking made it out to the self-realization halloween party on friday. my friend amanda always has the best costumes for malena - this one takes the cake! love these two together...
elodie really wanted to be minnie mouse but we didn't love the options that were out there. i am not costume sewing mama unfortunately (though total envy!) so we made up her costume with the following:
dress thrifted when i was in london
black tights, mittens and shoes from h&m
minnie ears from the disney store
she took off her black nose and whiskers immediately. she's not big on the face painting yet.
the best thing about young children is that they have the imagination to fill in the blanks. so often, we do that for them with every detail. no need!
