This year Addie dressed up as Abby Cadabby for Halloween. For those of you who don't know, that is a character on sesame street (which Addie absolutely loves). I found a couple costume pieces at a consignment shop and rearranged them into what you see. The stem on my head is actually part of one of the costumes as well (as we were getting ready and I was about to throw away all the scraps I had the idea to make myself into a pumpkin; Jason just laughed).
She wasn't sure about getting in the costume until we showed her what she looked like in the mirror and she got excited.





A front and back view of the costume and of her hair - it's hard to tell but it was both pink and purple.



And at the end of the night, we had to get the color out of her hair so it wouldn't get on the sheets and it turned the water (and the tub) pink. It's not very clear, but it really is pink.

You are so clever! I'm so glad you got your mother's gift for creativity! Addie Cadabby is so cute! And so is the pumpkin! What a fun time! Sorry that you didn't get to show it off much, but .......It was worth it for the rest of us.

So cute. I think it is great. My favorite part was the pink hair. I think that was awesome.
