kaiya's mom loves halloween. and for those of you that don't know - i go a little overboard on kaiya's halloween costumes. lucky for kaiya (and mom) nana is an excellent seamstress. so every year we go to her with some wacky idea for a costume and she gives us looks like we are nuts - and then creates a masterpiece! so this year we decided on animal from the muppet show. we got to do halloween a week early b/c we went to a campground with our family today that has a parkwide celebration. it just goes to show how old mama is getting b/c NONE of the kids had any idea who animal was. they all thought she was some funky looking thing with pink hair. animal has always been one of my favorite muppets. i was sitting around trying to come up with something fun for kaiya to be and it all of a sudden clicked! animal has crazy hair - so does kaiya. animal is all skinny legs and arms - so is kaiya. animal yells a lot - SO DOES KAIYA!!! it was perfect in my mind, but oh so disappointing that kids these days don't have any idea who jim henson was or have any familiarity with his awesome muppets :) so i just rolled kaiya around and let her yell at people and pretended she was saying trick or treat...and let them think she was some sort of deranged clown or creature.
TRICK or TREAT!
very sleepy after all that candy collecting :)
more sleeping after mama tried to get the pink stuff out of kaiya's hair...

AWESOME COSTUME! I want to be animal too!
Great idea, Kelly. Thanks for sharing...
She does look totally exhausted. She is so precious even with pink hair!
I LOVE the outfit! The idea of animal is way cool. Awesome, especially the zigzag skirt. I want one for Vera too! She's probably a chubby pumpkin.
