Halloween 2008

Tis the Halloween Post!

Hiromi wore a smock made by her obaachan & wings bought by her mommy for Miyuki in years past. Miyuki actually told us what she wanted to be. Yikes. So, she wore a chair. Yup. When she said she wanted to be McQueen, I though, "Hmm. How do I make a kid into a car?" So Jason suggested, "Why not start out with the car already made?" Brilliant!! Viva la Walmart & their talking McQueen fold-out-sides chair! Miyuki's obaachan sewed on some shoulder straps & a tie in the back. Mommy cut out a chunk of foam in the center (to make it a wee bit lighter) & as either one of the girls would say, "Taa daa!"

We went once around the block with Hiromi trying to bolt inside every house we came to (she made it pretty far into a couple of 'em) and Miyuki waddling along, but it was enough to fill their small sacks & we went home to consume. Miyuki chose 2 Tootsie Rolls & 2 mini Hereshy's bars (her 4-piece limit that evening while Hiromi chose a Tootsie pop for each hand. Mommy had a Butterfinger.
