Halloween 2007

I've been trying to get around to posting these photos for a few days now. We had a great Halloween this year. My husband Joey and I always make a point to dress up, and this year, our two-year-old daughter got into the spirit, too. This is the first year she actually 'understood' it was Halloween, and definitely wanted to go for the candy!

Joey and Elena went for the "Wizard of Oz" theme, because Elena loves the movie right now. Don't they look great? Elena is Dorothy and Joey is the Scarecrow. I love how he really gets into the Halloween spirit.

Before you say anything, I did try to find a Wizard-related costume, but didn't have any luck. I was going to be 'adult Dorothy' but couldn't find a costume. I could have been the wicked witch, but didn't want to have to mess with green face and hand paint, or find a Glenda "good witch" costume.

Hence, I was Medusa. She was always my favorite character from Greek mythology.

Medusa would fool men - she appeared beautiful at first, but one look could turn men to stone.

I was impressed that most people knew who I was this year!

Hope you and your family had a great Halloween, too.
