Happy Halloween! This costume is Haley’s brain-child, worked into reality with her own blood, sweat and tears. Nathan’s work group is CRAZY about Halloween and they all dressed as Disney villains. Nate was Bowler Hat Guy from Meet the Robinsons. So, being the cheap-o’s we are with the crazy daughter we have, we just used the same costume for Darby once Nate was done with it. She looked AWESOME! I kept hearing people talk about her and how great her costume was. She even had a bald cap with the little swirl of hair (I didn’t even think to take her hat off and get a picture of that, but it is there). She looked great and had a really fun time.
On Thursday, Darby’s preschool class got to wear their costumes to school. We couldn’t use Bowler Hat Guy because Nate would need it on Friday, and we didn’t want Darby to miss out. So, we had a ball of red yarn that Corrine bought for the Darbs to play with and we decided to fashion a Pippi Longstocking wig out of it. It turned out really great, even though it looks like a mix somewhere in the fray of Pippi, the Wendy’s girl (Wendy, I presume), and Raggedy Ann. Her schoolmates said that she looked “awesome” and she felt so good about herself! She is so fun and so wild; while all of her contemporaries are prancing around in princess dress-up stock and crap tiaras, Darby is bold and fun. I love my daughter.
Darby looks absolutely adorable as Pippi Longstockings and just as cute in the Black! Glad to hear she was a hit and had fun!
ReplyDeleteKacey would NEVER wear any costume that necessitates the wearing of a mustache (unless, of course, they come out with an Aunt Hillary costume). I just cracked myself up! Darby's fearlessness is just one of the many things that make her so dear to me. Great costume, Haley, and the Pippi wig is awesome!
ReplyDeleteshe really did look amazing! i think one of the many endearing qualities of darby is the fact that she can go from wearing a princess dress one moment to hanging out with the boys, and fitting in, the next.
ReplyDeleteAramie, that was so, so wrong!
ReplyDeleteA.D.O.R.A.B.L.E!
ReplyDeleteI love both of them and they are so Darby that I love it...she is such a little doll. Hope she's feeling beter
ReplyDeleteThe demonstration of the cape is my favorite. She's got the whirling, swirling action down pat. And her Pippi is awesome. I want my kid to spend more time with her so that she learns how to be just as great.
ReplyDeleteNow, it's time to pillage her candy bag. Parent rights! I pushed you out of my hoo-haa: I get to take a Kit Kat now and then.
I dont think you can make her any cuter. you two make great babies.
