First of all. How about those gold lips? Shimmery! The color of those lips does a good job of representing the glittery-but-dangerous magic in this book. Just as the pale skin of their owner conveys the tone of the story quite well: pale, cold, and creepy. I'm pretty sure this is my first pixie urban fantasy and I wasn't sure what to expect. What I did not expect was feeling like I was back inside the world of Stephen King 's It . But apparently if a book's got Maine, winter, and a town with a curse on it, it will always evoke the same prickly, back-of-the-neck feelings in me. And Need 's heroine shares my sentiments. Zara's stepdad is dead. After watching her waste away day by day, Zara's mother puts her on a plane and sends her to her de facto grandmother--her stepdad's mom Betty. Betty lives in Maine. Maine feels like another world to Zara. A world in which the every surface is blanketed in snow and the local teenagers are all track stars or foot
Adorable!! Love the SuperFinn costume! Don't you just love Halloween and the great kids' costumes? A friend's son had the cutest dinosaur costume on the other day. So cute.
ReplyDeleteI do love seeing them in costume after all the thought and work and preparation goes into it. So fun.
DeleteAw, so cute. Love the Batgirl stance. Don't mess with her because she's in charge, you see?
ReplyDeletePrecisely. She's all, When are we going to stop this nonsense and start fighting crime??
DeleteAdorable!!!! I am very partial to Batgirl there, but they are ALL darling. Glad to see you all had fun. Halloween was pretty much cancelled here in NJ. :(
ReplyDeleteLol. She was IN CHARACTER.
DeleteI'm so sorry. We've all been thinking of you guys and everyone back east.
Oh, some crazy cuteness here! Good costume-making skills as well :)
ReplyDeleteIt's exhausting. But very fun to see it all come together. :)
DeleteI am dieing over Piper's costume. SO COOL!!! And so perfect for her. Your kids are so beautiful. I love it when you post pics.
ReplyDeleteThere was never any question of what she was going to be this year. She's pretty sure Piper is just her alterego. ;)
DeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Shane!
DeleteYour kids are so photogenic! I love the poses and the costumes.
ReplyDeleteThey were definitely into it. It was a fun night.
Deleteso cute!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Amy!
DeleteThat vampire makeup and batgirl's pose are awesome. :) Looks like it was a fun time.
ReplyDeleteHe was very specific on how he wanted his face to look. Lol.
DeleteEvery time a door opened, she smiled and said, "I'm Batgirl!"
These are awesome, Angie!! Can I just say that I LOVE that you have a little girl that wanted to go as a super hero and not a princess? Same for her cousins for that matter. Princesses are okay too, but it's nice to see something different. And that vampire makeup is totally creepy! Though the look of utter adoration he's getting from Alice is priceless.
ReplyDeleteHope you guys had fun!
Can I just say that I LOVE that she wanted to, too? That's my girl.
DeleteHis little Alice-cousin is very adoring, so that shot is pretty spot-on in general. Lol.
Everyone is adorable. Wish we could have seen them live!
ReplyDeleteWe wish we could have seen yours, too!
DeleteOh my gosh, you guys are so adorable! These look like professional photos. Great costume choices:)
ReplyDeleteLol. My husband's a photographer so I luck out in the photo department.
