This was a last-minute-dig-through-the-dress-ups-thrown-together type of Halloween. I asked Divine what she wanted to be and she said a teenager. What's your costume? A t-shirt, jeans, and make-up. Ah, yes, make-up. I asked her if she could be something that required a bit more of a costume: she wanted to be a bride. With make-up. (You might recognize her skirt from Project Run & Play ;)
Azure recycled a costume from when we were all bugs. She wanted make-up, too.
Clover was the cutest little red fairy.
They all wanted lipstick as we walked out the door.
Luckily I had a tube of Clinique from a free Clinique Bonus promotion.
Drummer didn't get a chance to wear his costume. Maybe I'll just put him in it and let him wear it around the house.
Hooray for easy.
I'm seeing a common theme here.... make-up anyone? The girls look great and I love Azure as a mom, that brought a huge smile to my face. Enjoy the treats!
ReplyDeletePearl is the best! Love it, and love simple.
ReplyDeleteAmanda--yes, make-up was very much the theme and I have a feeling we'll be revisiting this theme frequently.
ReplyDeleteThe Lady--I need to dig up a picture of me as Pippi!
I love easy! And they, as always, look adorable!!!!
ReplyDeleteThose were easy, but still clever. Love that mom ability that shines, even when a new babe is in the house. We're going to try easy, with saint costumes. Wish us luck.
ReplyDeleteCute! We did the costume scramble last night... I wasn't going to dress up and neither was my 12 year old. We both changed our minds about an hour or so before it was time to leave :)
ReplyDeleteWhat lovely simple and appropriate costumes...they all look wonderful..love the mum with mum stuff in the purse.
ReplyDeleteThey look great! I wish I had had that tradition when I was little - in Australia Halloween has never been celebrated until the last couple of years, when I've noticed some small groups of kids and parents trick or treating in our area. Most houses aren't prepared for them though and have nothing to hand out!
ReplyDeleteOlive looks more and more like you every time you post a photo of her :)
Precious girls! I went store-bought this year and hated every minute of it. But, the kids were happy and in the end, that's what really matters. Your little Dills are very precious!
ReplyDeleteLove the make-up! It totally made the costumes real.
ReplyDeleteI think you should look into taking shares in a cosmetic company ...this can only be the tip of the iceberg with the lipstick. Costumes are great.
ReplyDeleteSo adorable! I was Pippi one year, too!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! I love Olive's mom with a swaddled baby! Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteMakeup's the best.
ReplyDeleteLove it. We are doing last minute as well. No telling what my group will be....
ReplyDeleteThe kids look fantastic and I agree, 'Easy' is the best!
ReplyDeleteLove how make-up was a key component of the costumes ;).
They all look fantastic! Hooray for another Halloween, now with six to dress!
ReplyDeleteYou've got a story there: A spider, a bride, a red fairy, Pippi and her mom....or maybe a Broadway musical!
ReplyDeleteI love the picture of Clover. I had the hardest time getting Reid to hold still for a picture too. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree...Olive's costume is so cute! What a fun idea.
