How to dress for a Hallween party...white trash style

The kids were invited to some neighbor friends' Halloween party, costumes encouraged.

Addie as a butterfly in a borrowed costume. The best part: her too-small tights, which resulted in crotch-knee. Didn't slow her down, though.

Layla raided her closet to proudly come up with this, um, costume. Despite my gentle suggestions of more cheerleader-worthy attire, she felt the most cheer squadish in this. Fortunately, some of the other mothers at the party bit their tongues before they asked her why she chose not to dress up for the party...

After several failed attempts at finding the perfect costume (somehow mysteriously morphing from cowboy to policeman), Carson settled on this awesome (read: CHEAP-O) ensemble. His imagination took off when clutching the plastic-wrapped plastic stuff at the store, but his anticipation turned to frustration as nearly everything broke within minutes of opening the box. Fortunately, a quick-thinking mother turned his near tears to laughter as he became, officially, "A Policeman With Faulty Equipment" for Halloween. Best component, hands-down: the creepy tinted glasses.

All together now:
