Aaah, Halloween. Some would argue that this is a pagan holiday (and in fact, it is. But so far that has not discouraged us from throwing ourselves wholeheartedly into the annual ritual of dressing our kids in costumes and and then parading them around the neighborhood and encouraging them to gather up as much candy as possible--which we will then hide and spend the other 364 days of the year telling them they can't eat). More than pagan, it is just plain weird (but clearly weirdness has never really been a deterrent for Kevin or myself). Really though, witches and ghosts and weird celebrations aside, does it get any cuter than a green 3 foot dinosaur and a little pink bunny? I think not.
Here the kids are with Nancy--our dear friend who a couple of decades ago made these adorable costumes for her kids. (That's right...I am not mother of the year. I did not make these costumes. But no one else has to know:))
Our little bunny
Cambel, the very scary dinosaur, with his cousin Isaiah the bee. (And yes, his mother (my sister) did make his costume. And that might make her a better mother than me. But that little competition between loving sisters will be saved for another blog).
Cambel reconsidering the safety of standing so close to such a large bee.
And this is why we do Halloween. For shots like these. A dinosaur cradling a small bunny. Isn't that a Disney movie plot?

Very funny - and cute, but I don't think I have ever seen a bunny with his/her cottonball tail up by his throat. Could you explain that please?
And I don't think I even qualify for mother-of-the-year. I was the one who let my 7 month old eat the flap of a gum box on halloween night.
I was wondering too why the bunny has chest hair/fur.
i have no idea what the bunny chest fur is. my best guess is that it is a way to cover up the snaps that hook the hat/head together. or maybe bunnies have a tuft of fur under their chin that you don't see unless you get close up.
