HALLOWEEN 2008 was so much FUN with my WIZARD OF OZ children. Sienna was Glinda the Good Witch, Carissa was Dorothy, and Creighton was the Cowardly Lion. I must say that they looked adorable! My mother, a very talented seamstress (I do not know how to sew), made the Dorothy costume for Sienna 3 years ago and Carissa was able to wear it this year. Those who know me (Darla) know that I'm a huge Wizard of Oz fan. I even have Oz Christmas lights, a Christmas tree FULL of Oz decorations, all of the Madame Alexander Wizard of OZ dolls from McDonalds from 2006 and 2008, and much more. We went to BOO At The ZOO here in Lincoln at the Children's Zoo on 10/29/08 and then trick & treated in Hastings at my brother Darin's and sister-in-law Shellie's house on Halloween. The weather was soooo nice both days! Of course the girls received LOTS of candy and had a great time dressing up. Creighton just hung out with us and loved all the decorations and jack-o-lanterns. My mother also came to Hastings and went trick & treating with all of us. When my twin brother, Darin and I were growing up, my mother made the BEST costumes for us. Through the years we were Raggedy Ann & Andy, the Exorcist (me) and the Priest (Darin), Mr. and Mrs King Kong (she even hand made rubber facial pieces and glued them to our faces so we really looked like King Kong), Miss USA and Uncle Sam, Wicked Witch (made and glued a rubber nose and chin to my face) and Dracula,
Shaw of Iran and the Hutchback or Notre Dame, two of the singers from the band KISS (very popular rock back from the 1970's), Peter Pan ( with my Barbie as Tinker Bell that had wings that lit up) and Captain Hook, and even Chinch Bugs. Our home town held an event every year on Halloween and all the little children would dress up and parade around down town for everyone to see. During the parade the children in costumes would be judged by designated judges and win prizes for each age group. We won every year except for when we were KISS because the judges didn't know who KISS was. Thanks MOM for all the fun Halloween memories!

"Get away from me you wicked old witch."
Sweet smile for candy!
"Trick or Treat"
Warning: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TAKE YOUR OWN PICTURES OF YOUR OWN CHILDREN IN A STUDIO. POUTING, CRYING AND CHAOS WILL OCCUR. However, we were able to get one semi-happy picture of them.
Creighton made us laugh so hard after we put this costume on him. He already has his Badge of Courage after defending off his sisters on a daily basis from constantly wanting to hold and kiss him! HAPPY 1ST HALLOWEEN, CREIGHTON!!!
