boo ...

little.e.beck.artist went to a halloween party ... she tried on the horse that she wore a few years ago when she was a cowgirl ... it didn't fit ... she grew, the horse did not .... so she's wearing a costume from out of the halloween box ...

i did not take this picture, but i love it dearly because boy.beck.artist looks so scared ... and dixie the dog does not .... 

for years i wouldn't let my kids be creepy for halloween .... i hate creepy ... i hate gross even more .... but when the twins, boy.beck.artist and girl.beck.artist were in fifth grade, they ganged up on me ... enough of the baby costumes, mom ... they wanted to be a zombie and a ghoul ... complete with hoods and fright masks ... i relented ... they were creepy .... it was fine ... i was fine ... the world still sailed around the sun ....and now, there's my baby recycling one of the costumes ..... she would never have picked creepy on her own, but since it was in the halloween box and the horse didn't fit, the child that i could always count on to be a fariy or a princess or a ladybug or a good witch is all creepified .... they all grow up ... hopefully she'll still share her candy ....
