Halloween!

[siercia]

This year, Miss Hannah decided to be a lion. After I might have been a little grumpy about her asking for another iteration of princess again this year.

But isn't she an adorable lion?



We went light on pumpkins this year - I was not up for 5 or 10 pumpkin lanterns.

Hannah went for a bat, and picked out a vampire for me and Wiley went off on his geeky way with his own thing. Lots of compliments on them - I can only imagine people haven't seen the template books that make it wicked easy to have fancy carvings.

I suppose it would be a poor time to point out that girl lions don't have manes.

Perhaps boy lions wear skirts though. Nevermind.

I think we were really going for "artistic interpretation of lion", really.

Move over, Julie Taymor! =)

Awwww. She does make a really great Lion!

[siercia]

I shall tell her you said so!

err. wasn't she also a freezing cold lion, too?

[siercia]

She swears she was not cold. I have my doubts, but as long as she didn't whine about it, there's a level on which I don't care.

She didn't complain once. They were hopping, skipping and jumping from house to house.

Great costume!

What a great lion!

[siercia]

Thank you!

She has been grinning for two days from all the compliments she got from it.

Fantastic lion, fantastic costume, fantastic, gorgeous girl!

And, as another commenter said, "Move over Julie Taymor!" (Especially after that "Spiderman: Turn off the Dark" shit."

[siercia]

Why, thank you!

Someday, I hope she gets to meet you!

I would absolutely love that! What an honor for you to say! :-)

I sent my mama the lion picture and told her about your birthday post -- we think she sounds like me at that age. :-)

Great costume on Hannah. The remark about princesses reminds me of when Emily was oh, five, and I asked her what she wanted to be for Halloween. "A princess," was her reply, and Ray and I remarked to each other, "Not that she isn't the other 364 days of the year!"
