Halloween Take 2

Last night was Venessa's Halloween Birthday Bash so Rylee, Rio and I had a second chance to put on our mermaid outfits - and this time people actually saw us - yeah! Jon refused to go as a merman (go figure) so I worked him into our ensemble as a pirate instead.


Here he is enthusiastically showing off his look before we left. Does it seem like I'm the only one who truly loves the costuming?


I so loved my mermaid costume. My very talented mother added some flourishes to my 11th grade prom dress to make it more mermaidish. She sewed the floaty fabric strips on the bottom, turned a sparkly pink belt into a fishnet effect around the waist, and even cut and styled last year's Daphne wig to make an Ariel look. Thank you Mom!


Here's a pic of me and Venessa at the party. She looked awesome as a pretty Octoberfest barmaid.


Rio is barking because she wants a walk. Rylee is up and she wants a bottle. All of this means I have to go pronto!
