We had a Coraline and a devil-in-a-red-dress.

More dark houses than not.

What gives with that?

Happy to you all.

Holla-ween

What a great day it was.  

We had an indian summer reprieve from the windy tundra of the past few days.

It was warm enough to go  halloweening without coats and pumpkin cozies. 

I made it to the kindergarden party on the right day finally.

There’s enough sugar in our house to last for a few days at least.

Happy  Halloween!

 

Rosie was the wife of Dracula

 

Marigold  was an unfortunate victim.  A.DEAD. PERSON.  She had bite-marks and leafy-dready hair.  The red eyes were totally real.  I am not even kidding. No contacts at all.

The HAUL.  Both girls look like they spent the night over a charcoal fire.  Up to destroy my bathtub…. Viva black hair spray!!

Hope you had a fun night too!

Fiendish

Here is a glimpse of the new Making Fiends Show– if you haven’t seen the scoop already. We love the original site so, so much. My girls ever-quote the episodes and were even inspired to Halloween as Vendetta and Charlotte. See? And the GIANT hamsters that almost wrecked my sewing machine for good? Only our friends and family had any idea who they were, but Marigold had a great time speaking in Vendetta-ish all night and the little is just naturally Charlotte.

Amy Winfrey is the geniusette behind it and she is getting a gig on Nick. Check out her website at making fiends and some of the new show temptings here.

ART CLASS for the fiendish ones….

Yesterday we started the most recent installment of life-long for-real art experiences for the girls. This is in part to compensate for the lame-oh-art-prison classes at school and also just for fun and creativity time in our family. Jim already does Illustration Friday night with them most weeks, and these days are just an excuse for more of a good thing for everyone. We started yesterday with a lesson on mixing colors and color theory and relationship. They did such great work! Even the youngest did the mixing all by herself and really got it. Here they are hypnotized by the process

That’s all I have for this evening, I am headed up to the nest to knit on the recital capelet. I will have a knitting update soon, as well as shots of some new markers tomorrow!
