In those years before Sophie, Halloween meant grown-up parties with lots of naughty snacks and drinks, hilarious costumes, and carousing ’til the wee hours.
Now, Halloween means child-appropriate snacks, cute pint-sized costumes, and lots of photo ops. As if to cement the dramatic change from pre-baby to post-baby Halloweens, our annual American Women’s Club adults-only Halloween party was cancelled this year at the last minute. Not necessarily a bad thing, since it would have required me to dress up as one of the Spice Girls (don’t ask…..!)
While we do have a nice travel-related story in the works for you, I first will share our sweet photos of Halloween-At-Jennifer’s-Decidedly-Untravelly-Friday-Baby-Group…

This mask scared the heck out of Sophie (she would start screaming if I put it on) so my costume was effectively “a tired mom who wears black”.
The costume-of-the-day award goes to baby Justus:
Milla (our neighbor to the west) is a cute witch:
While the “other” Sophie practices her yoga and meditation techniques:
Kara flaunts her poodle skirt:
Baby Louisa, Fay, & Lisa show that witches, princesses, and hippies really can get along:
Our easterly neighbor Julia really likes Halloween! (she’s 3 months old now)
Claudia & Elizabeth trade witches-brew recipes…
Our brave lion, Emily, prefers stalking her prey by bobby car…
And here are all the goodies! (mostly ate by us moms…)
adorable! but why is the giant skunk eating that baby?
Where’s the Sophster??? We expected her wearing a cute pumpkin costume or somethnig similar… or did she go on strike because of your leopard mask?
Where are cute pics of Sophie?????
The kids are SOOOO cute in their little costumes! You know, I once had to dress up as sporty spice for Halloween and of course somebody posted pictures of it in the Internet too…
