Halloween Spooktacular

Bridgette is the committee chair for Parks and Recreation in her small town.  She has been ultra busy of late planning for a Spooktacular event which took place last night.  They had games galore and food and it seems there was loads of fun.  Here are some highlights that she shared with me...
Two cute costumed girls!
 
Lillie dressed in one of those cool costumes that looks like she is the cowgirl riding a horse.  How appropriate is that?  Lydia was her favorite friend - Minnie.  The one costume was a consignment sale bargain, I think, and the other was stitched together by Bridgette.  Well, most of it.  The Minnie Mouse head is an heirloom - I made Mickey and Minnie heads for Bridgette and Bryan when he was two and she was four-years-old.  So, that makes them...significantly older!  At any rate, I'm sure they were the cutest little costumed children at the event - without compare!
Here is another look at the cowgirl on the horse...
and one of Minnie.
They both reported that they had a big time!

These girls looked like they had a fun time as well.  I cannot really find the words to describe what their costume is like...
Is this Barbies gone bad?
I think the Kardashian's are envious...or maybe the Muppets...or the bad toys in Toy Story.  I don't know where they found these get-ups because with this look, I cannot believe it is something that regularly hangs in their closets.  These are my three neices.  I do say that they must have had great fun, don't you think?
Madalyn and Megan hamming it up for the camera
 
Madalyn's shirt has the perfect slogan for their ensembles, I think.  What does make you beautiful?  Where on earth did they find such?
Is it the hair or the make-up?
No doubt about this one - hair and clothes!
There is something about her eyes...
 
The smile does say it all, though.  She was definitely having loads of fun.  Come to think of it, I saw a girl with her hair this way - really - a couple of weeks ago and she wasn't even intending it to be a costume.  What fun and creativity those girls have!
Bridgette's Mother-In-Law
I think this little girl must have had a fun time, too.  Her costume is cute but not a bit scary or even laugh provoking like my neices, though. 

The decor was fun and cute, too.  There were carved pumpkins, banners, streamers, and
...these cute ghosts.

They are crafted from wire tomato cages wrapped in clear lights, draped with a white cloth that has duct taped features.  How clever is that?
I wonder if this guy was shocked at seeing the neices or scared at seeing the most frightening costume of all...
Love ya, Corey!
