As I've said before, this is the first year Raya picked her own costume. It's definitely not what *I* would have chosen!! But she loves it and she worked it out today hehe.
Can you spot Miss Raya Marie in her class?
Her costume just cracks me up because I have to pull the bottom up so much in order for her to walk, that it ends up being a very unproportional mermaid! :-P And it's a horrible costume to layer up for freezing Iowa Halloweens too. But she proudly told everyone what she was and my oh my, was she in her element collecting candy! (We all walked on a parade through downtown and all the businesses passed out candy---we got a ton! Harper and Brielle sure did march up to each business and get their own too :-P)
Here is a zoomed in photo of the girls in Raya's class (except for the kangeroo, who is also a girl...she didn't make it in this picture)

| The lamb is Raya's "best friend" (in Raya's mind anyways haha...although the little girls mom did say she talks about Raya too, so hopefully it's not completely one sided! Her mom made the lamb costume and it was so cute--she even wore a bell around her neck lol. Raya has also mentioned playing with the little witch before too. Pink super girl and tinkerbelle always talk to Raya in the halls when we are waiting to go into preschool, and superman (girl) is so adorable...she's a little tomboy :-) The kitty cat is the last girl and she's adorable too! (Raya never talks about any boys in her class---although she loves playing with Sawyer, apparently they quickly learn that boys and girls do not normally socialize haha....Raya never plays with boys at preschool---they've got cooties ya know ;-) |
This picture makes me laugh and laugh. It's why I refer to her costume (lovingly) as "the drag queen mermaid" haha...it's all so wrong, yet all so right for Miss Raya Marie! :-)
One last one to hold you all over until tomorrow---and tomorrow my little pink furry monster will make her big Halloween debut---stay tuned!!!!
How cute. Kaylees Halloween parade is tomorrow
ReplyDeleteI LOVE it! She chose a great costume! Isn't it hard to let them choose though? This was the first year I really let them choose too, and it was so hard for me to keep my mouth shut and not sway them, but I did! :)
ReplyDeleteI love her mermaid costume!! =) It's suppose to be really cold here tomorrow for trick-or-treating, so i'm sure Emma will look like a nice plump Dorothy! haha =)
ReplyDeleteOMG!!! These pics are to die for!!!!!!!

LOVE! I totally get the drag queen mermaid comment -- but I think it's adorable... I don't know what that says about me though..... :)
ReplyDeleteI'm so sad I couldn't go to Averie's preschool halloween party this year. Next year hopefully I'll be able to make it!
hehe...glad I'm not the only one thinking it! ;-)
