Won't be "here" for a few days!!!!

Today I am travelling to NY to visit Susie and Dan for the first time. I am sooo excited!!!!! I have their Halloween costumes that Scott and I made for them. These costumes are awesome. I never used to get much into Halloween, but Scott and his mom always make these gorgeously elaborate costumes for his girls and his nieces and nephews. I, of course, got bit by the bug last year too.

Susie is the "Crimson Countess"--an ethereal gothic witch. She looks very creepy, but very beautiful at the same time in a long black feudal gown and red flowing robe. She will have these cryptic tatoos on her face and these long black and red nails.

Dan is going to be "Big Ben" #7 quarterback for the Pittsburgh Steelers. He is so excited! He was a little worried when the helmet came in the mail..... "Mommy, will I ever be big enough to play football?" I think he was feeling unworthy to wear such an amazing piece of equipment. We all thought that was cute, but not as cute as when Dan went out to the garage to get the football and brought back a volleyball. Poor little guy.... had no idea which one was which!
(that would be MY bad!!!!!) But you have to admit that Dan can dress a Bratz doll like nobody's business.

Which is kind of what Aidan is this year--she is a NY City fashionista like the girls on Sex in the City with her chic dress, gloves, hat, bag, fur cape and little dog. The neighbors have gone as far as comment that they should let Aidan carry around their little poodle with her.... mom thinks....bbbbaaaadddddd idea?!?!?!?!?!

Alannah is now teetering on that edge of being too old to trick or treat. She has been invited to go to Lake Compounce with a group of girls and their moms. Tonight is the last big night at the park. These moms get together every year and take the "big" girls instead of tric or treating. It looks like fun! http://www.lakecompounce.com/ I am so thrilled that the girls are fitting in and making nice friends.

Ok--coffee's ready and so am I! Catch you all after the weekend!
