Happy Halloween 2019

When Sofia was two all she wanted to be for Halloween was a gorilla. Now that she is four she went through a series of Disney characters and finally chose Princess Jasmine. Wish I could be with her tomorrow. She's excited about trick or treating though I feel she'd be a lot less chilly in that gorillas outfit!


 




 




 






 And on the other side of the world
 Athena and her dog Sam had fun passing out candy until Sam got tired

 

 


 And then there's this Halloween memory:

 There once long ago was an actress named Carmen Miranda. As a child I would marvel at her costumes and these big headdresses made of fruit and flowers.She wore colorful outfits and tons of jewelry. She was full of life and would dance and sing so joyfully. I wanted to be her and so I was on several Halloweens. I also dressed my girls as her even though most people had never known who they were supposed to be. I'm going to have to bring that headdress back for Sofia one of these years.
