Our Garden

Well folks, Happy Halloween Eve. It’s here. And here is our theme for this year…. (drum roll please)…THE GARDEN. That’s right we have have a “rose”, two sunflowers, and two pretty pink and purple flowers. Well, actually Molly is now considered a weed by Kyla because she refuses to put on the petal part of her costume.

These costumes were a labor of love. We were running out of theme ideas. This was my vision and it turned out only semi how I had envisioned. No one really loves it either. In fact, Kyla is embarrassed of it. She only told me this after I had already constructed all of the costumes. GREAT. Poor Harper’s petals don’t really fit and she hates wearing them as well. Pearson and Kyla compromised and decided to trade their original costumes. Pearson wanted to match Heidi as a sunflower and Kyla wanted to be different….to “be the star.” The rose I had originally pictured was more of an unbloomed rose, a turban of sorts. That idea quickly got vetoed as totally embarrassing.  So here you have it- hours of work, my first real sewing machine project. 

You won’t be able to tell too much the angst for these costumes by these photos (well except poor Harper). The girls were really getting into posing as a garden, which then turned into posing as SUPER HERO FLOWERS. That is now what Kyla is telling people she is.

I love this one of Pearson. I think its my favorite.

Kyla getting into the photoshoot. Ready to run inside at any moment though- if any of the neighbors should come outside.

Super Hero Flowers. I love that even Molly is doing it.

 

As I’m typing this blog post Kyla is in my ear asking me to type, “Kyla is the star of the Super Hero Flowers!!”
