Well, I was REALLY LAME and forgot to take a picture of Thing One and her buddy Ben before/when I dropped them off at the church middle-schoolers’ Halloween party last night. Bummer! I hope someone at the party took pictures b/c I never got one of her all dressed and with her (borrowed) bow (which I broke goofing around on Wednesday night and had to repair).

Here, however, are Thing Two and Andrei, aka as Cleopatra, Queen of Denial, and Boba Fet, all ready to go out trick-or-treating:

2009 Yarn Pirate Costume:

Yeah, I think I like this year’s look better. No “Surrender Yer Yarrrn!” t-shirt, but the blouse works (Thanks, Bobcat!). Note the ball bands attached to the belt. Same big, fat knitting needle as a sword. Mebbe next time, I’ll think ahead and knit a scabbard for it, lol. I was also glad to have another opportunity to wear the crazy, high-heeled boots I bought for the 80’s party back in May. Overall, I like this year’s look better. Oh, yeah…there’s also the fact that I weigh a whole lot less than I did in 2007. Snork!
