Halloween That Could Have Been

Emily was to be a garden gnome for Halloween.
How awesome is that?!
We are taking advantage of these first few years when she really doesn't care what she'll dress up as. We are dressing her up in the most ridiculous disguises now, knowing that it will be all fairies and princesses to come.
BTW, last year's runner up was a whoopie cushion and this year, had she been a boy, she would have been the UPS man.

So, the gnome costume came in yesterday and I couldn't wait to try it on.

E doing her gnome gig.

Checking out her nifty flower pocket.
Whoa! That is a lot of leg!

Costume minus the hat and booties...because they were too small!!
Sadly, this dress barely passes dress code, and the pies de resistance accessories don't fit...we had to go to the non-existent Plan B for Halloween.

After almost an hour in the spooky Halloween store, we finally settled on a costume.
It's ok, but no gnome.
But, the truth is she will be frighteningly adorable no matter what she is.

I remember Billy mentioning the whoopie cushion being a contender as a Halloween costume last year hehe. Her Garden Gnome costume is too cute, too funny!
