I found that dress on Ebay last month and had it shipped from Hong Kong. It took several weeks, but I got it for $12. It's waaaay too big, so hopefully Elizabeth wants to be Dorothy next year. And the year after that.
So...Halloween is stupid. No, listen. I took the Big E trick or treating at the mall and around our neighborhood and she came back with a bag full of crap. The mall was the worst--wall to wall people, standing in slow moving lines, feeling like costumed cattle--and for what? One mini tootsie roll. A sticker. A lollipop. After an hour, I was feeling all stabby and Elizabeth had 10 pieces of penny candy.
Never. Again.
On Halloween night, we set out a bowl of old fruit snacks with a big sign saying "Take One" because I'm sick of manning the door while everyone else is roaming freely around the neighborhood
By the time I came down the bowl was empty.
Did everyone take just one? Did one group of pimply teenagers
OMG, I almost forgot: Worst Costumer Sighting EVER! At the mall, there was a
(In 1992, I would have killed for that Halloween costume. Fo' realz.)
BUT--she was pushing a double stroller with two ugly toddlers and she had a lovely postpartum pooch. It was awesome. Men throughout the mall were rubbernecking--and cringing.
And here's Elodie:
"Halloweinnie iz stupidz! No more Catwoman after you haz a litter! Kay?"

LOL!
Your girls are absolutely adorable! I have to agree about Halloween sucking. I'm over it. I actually saw more grown woman & teenagers asking for candy than I did young kids...sucks.
ha ha ha ha... i wonder who was thinking that about me when i walked through the mall in an Elastigirl costume a few years ago! ha ha ha.... hmmm... seriously.
just browsing through my twitter followers list and found your profile on there and HAD to follow you back, because the profile alone had me loving you.
smooches
angie
lol! i'm sorry your halloween experience sucked...that seems to be the theme among all my friends with children this year! making me all the more resolved to not celebrate it with my munchkins :)
What do you mean, roaming freely and drinking beer? WHERE DO YOU LIVE? I WANNA MOVE THERE!! I walked my kids around town and it was bo-ring. As always. WE came home, thru the front door, turned on our front like for like 1 second and had 4 trick-or-treaters. We just stole candy from our kids' bucket and gave it to them.
You are the only person that could make me laugh this morning.
That Dorothy costume could totally be turned into Alice in Wonderland for next year! Just a thought.
We did a trunk or treat for our 2 year old at his daycare (they did a really good job - just right for his age - and for the next two years). We don't give out candy at our house - I get too pissed at the people who trick or treat these days. nuff said.
You are freakin HILARIOUS!! And yes, let's hope she'll want to be Dorothy for the next five years. ;)
How sad....We had over 175 kids come to our door, we gave out candy corn and some of the kids were really excited about getting that! You would have thought it was something really special! There were adorable little kids in sweet costumes, medium sized kids in funny or scary costumes, a few older kids in really imaginative and clever costumes. Every single one of those kids was polite, happy to get what we gave, and each one said thank you! (Except for the really little ones who had pretty much no idea what was going on!) There were parents in costumes. I saw nothing sleazy or in poor taste. They, too, were polite, complimentary, and supportive of their kids. Not one bad incident in our neighborhood, not one!
So Halloween will continue here in its Spooky, Funny, and Traditional way. It's all about the kids and that's a good thing. That is how it was here, its a shame it wasn't like that for you.
Two ugly toddlers? Seriously, do you need to talk shit about babies??
I was cracking up at the drunk mom with her keg cup in my cul de sac.
At least she wasn't dressed like cat woman.
