Off With Their Heads

Sophie has had quite a head cold these past few days, but that didn't stop her from performing her royal duties and donning her Red Queen (from Tim Burton's Alice in Wonderland) costume to go trick-or-treating last night with her dad. If there's anything these two love, it's getting into their characters.

In case you didn't get to watch any scary movies this past month, here's are some stills from the set of "Why Don't These Two Go Off to Join the Circus and Leave Me to My Stitching?"…

They came back with loads of hydrogenated kernel oils, soy lecithin, and artificial flavors, all in brightly colored wrappers. (I remember when I was a kid, and they used this stuff called natural sugar that was really bad for you.)

I hope you had a wonderful Halloween night! Mine was fine until I suddenly realized one very frightening, heart-stopping, blood-curdling fact:

There is, indeed, a bored game for every occasion.

    I’m sorry Sophie wasn’t feeling all that well but she looked awesome. It’s a fantastic costume!
    Mike looked great too! When my boys were young they’d take their Dad out trick or treating with them and he would always dress up as well. Quite often he was Frankenstein or Freddie Kruger. Then they didn’t mind having a parent going around with them.

    lol! I love it! Mike and Sophie both look fantastic! Sophie makes a great red queen. It’s so great that they go together. My husband used to go with our kids too, but he just threw on an oversized bow tie. 😀

    Ha! Where’s the pig for her feet? LOL! Great costume!! Very very well done! Mike’s was nice, too… well… I suppose “nice” isn’t really the right word… 😉
    I hope Sophie is feeling better soon!

    You guys did an AMAZING job with the makeup and costumes!! I had to laugh at the pics, though. For as much as the child was enjoying Halloween, I think it was the adult who had the most fun, judging from the pics!! LOL

    Your family rocks, Paulette!!! You’re so blessed, and that Mike is one handsome goober :-D…Sophie has one of the most brilliant costumes; I LOVE IT!!!

    Wow. I must live in a barn. I had no idea that zombies could dance. Or play bored games, for that matter! Thanks for the laughs!

  • S Curiel

    That is the best costume (Sophie’s) that I’ve seen on a young lady! She really got into character, she should be in the remake if they ever do another one. (Yes, Mike’s costume was great too, I’m not a zombie fan, sorry). Sorry, too, that your night was a bored game. We watched football!
