Oy, picking out halloween costumes this year was quite the chore. I had it in my head that I wanted Poppy and Sam to have coordinating costumes - like Tinkerbell and Peter Pan (which is Poppy's all-time fave movie). Poppy says nope. Max & Ruby. Nope. We gave her all these super cute ideas. She shot them all down. After weeks of debate, she declared, without any further negotiations, that she would be a waitress (and Sam could be her "cooker", if he wanted). So without further ado, here is Waitress Poppy...
After dropping off Poppy at school, I went home to make them a spooktacular lunch...
ghost made out of a cheese stick, monster jaw (apple slices w/ slivered almonds), banana ghost, mummy dogs, ketchup for dipping and apple cider
I was sure that the "monster jaws" would freak her out, but that was her favorite part...
Sam loved it too...
And then once everyone went down for their naps, I whipped up a batch of WORMS!!!
I am the worst at food photography and the coloring in this pic is horrible. They weren't bloody red, they looked more like browny-red, like real worms! I brought them to our halloween party, where no one would eat them because they were so gross looking! Not even my bug-loving nephews would touch them!
the cousins!
Check out Louis (sitting next to Sam) he was dressed as Charlie Sheen!
Then we flew back to our house to go trick-or-treating in our 'hood...
{Waitress Poppy & Sammy the Spider!}
Marc's (and Poppy's) masterpieces. Marc was so proud when a few families said that they go trick-or-treating at our house every year just to see our pumpkins.

Those worms look super gross! Ewwww.
As for the custome, I think she looks perfect. Colin would have easily been her chef ya know ;)
Never in a million years would I have guessed Poppy would be a waitress - great costume!
And the spooky lunch is so adorable! You're such a creative mama :)
Such cute costumes!!! I love Poppy as a waitress! (And I also love the idea as Colin as her chef...) And the jack-o-lanterns are AWESOME! I just made my second one ever, and it may be my last one ever...
