I couldn’t stand the thought of leaving that last photo up for very long, so I decided to get the “real” Halloween pictures posted tonight.
Last year we high-jacked a photo session that some friends of ours had set up for their son at the mall. The pictures came out so wonderfully cute that we decided to take our girls back again this year.
Annabelle made the very big-girl decision about what to dress up as this year. I had been throwing ideas out at her for weeks: a pirate, a bear, a bumblebee. Nothing interested her. Then, one day her daycare center sent her home with somebody else’s underwear because I had forgotten to replace her spare. They happened to be Tinkerbell underwear, and the rest is history.
Thankfully, I had more say regarding Charlotte’s costume. I was flip-flopping between Princess Leia and Little Red Riding Hood, and had even begun making a felt beanie with little buns attached. Ultimately, I decided that the cute factor was a somewhat higher for Red and, since I already had enough red felt for the cape, I went with it.
And here they are together, partners in crime.
I also have to say thank goodness for these wonderful internets. I had a great starting point for Annabelle’s costume after finding this skirt pattern (see the bottom), and this hooded cape (found via The Crafty Crow) was absolutely perfect for Little Red Riding Hood (and it was very easy to make). For the rest of Charlotte’s costume, I made a simple apron for her to wear over a dress she already had. I wish I had a better picture of the apron, because it really is adorable. I’m now determined to find a way to incorporate them into her wardrobe more.
Beautiful!
