Various costumes

Its becoming a tradition for Savanna to be dissatisfied with her costume each halloween. In fact I almost always get a grumpy picture of her after her first costume attempt. I've learned to live with it. She has good ideas but has a hard time making that idea translate to something she's really satisfied with. She really wanted to be a Kyoshi warrior this year so we did our best to find an outfit that resembled that and I did her hair like Mulan, but she did not like it.

Fiora on the other hand is satisfied with just about anything. She wanted to be Nuay from The Last Airbender so we made a costume for her. But the day of her school parade she changed her mind and wanted to be Frankenstein's bride. So we scrambled to find a suitible ragged dress and veil and ratted her hair.


Then on halloween she changed her mind yet again and decided to be a bear. A BEAR. She was the cutest bear I've ever seen, but I did not see that coming.



Back to Savanna, she ripped out her hair, and had me do a french braid and went off to school and was a Kyoshi warrior for her school parade. But nobody knew what she was dressed up as, and this added to her disgruntled state.



So on Saturday we decided we really needed some face paint to make her look like a real warrior. Unfortunately she didn't like the way I did her face paint. Not that I was surprised. More grumpy pictures.


Weston was completely satisfied with his Aang costume, thankfully, and we had to put the finishing touches on that costume by buzzing his hair.




Savanna was forced to go with the facepaint to a little halloween recital our family put together Saturday. But as soon as we got home she washed her face and changed her outfit. She was inspired by my sister Krystal's outfit "The Red Queen" from Alice in Wonderland. She found a red dress, red cape, ratted her own hair, and voila, she was the red queen. All I had to do was her lipstick and put a few bobby pins in. Great job Savanna!





No matter what they were wearing, they had a great time running around the neighborhood trick or treating, we were glad the rain and wind stopped so we could take our time and get lots of candy! Happy Halloweeeeeeeen! (Whew that its over)

My sisters Karli and Heidi ran a half marathon that morning in costumes. They are awesome!
