Halloween 2010

This years Halloween was a lot of fun. There was talk about it for months. Zi got a chicken costume from a friend in the Spring so it was set that is what he would wear. Reagan wanted to be a cheerleader all year. Then a month ago she decided she wanted to be "Bug Girl." Not knowing what that was or how we would find a costume like that, I decided to draw a picture of her and let her tell me how to fill in the costume. She wanted bug ears (antennae), wings, and glasses. All green. So, I shopped around and found everything for her costume for under $5, including a skirt to finish it off. Bug Girl is a super hero. She picks up crime waves on her antennae.

Reagan also came up with a song:
Bug Girl - gonna save the day
Bug Girl - gonna save the day
Bug Girl - what ya gonna do?
Gonna save the day!
Bug Girl - what ya gonna do?
Gonna save the day!

One time we were all singing it and when we said Bug Girl - what ya gonna do? She yelled "The Grasshopper!" and then did a jumping dance across the kitchen floor. Bug Girl has a dance too.

When I drew Reagan's costume out Zi also wanted me to draw him. He decided that day he wanted to be Mad Chicken. An angry chicken. He would practice wearing his costume and frown and growl and say "I'm a MAD chicken!"

The day of Halloween Zi decided to be a happy chicken. Although in these pictures he's a sad chicken. Or more accurately a 2 year old chicken.

They got a lot of candy and it was gone in a matter of a couple days. But we had a great time.

Bug Girl.

Throwing a pre-candy fit.

Those are his sad feathers.

Can't wait for next year!
