it's coming
halloween is in 20 days and i am still not positive about costumes for the girls. i'm thinking eve will be alice in wonderland and ruthie will be the cheshire cat. she'd be perfect with that belly of hers. . .
there will certainly be a lot of pictures posted when the costumes are complete (most likely one hour before the first halloween party we go to) but for now, i give you a rich family children halloween retrospective:
2004. sock monkey. here's hoping i get to use this costume again someday. one of my favorites. and yes, chip was the greatest american hero that year.
2005. the sad mouse. i was supposed to have a brand new baby by halloween of 2005. but the day came, ruth was still lodged inside of me and i was unprepared. so, we went with a store-bought costume that we just happened to have hanging in the closet. thanks jeanie!
2006. little red riding hood and the wolf. or the aardvark. you choose. i'm kicking myself for not doing a proper photo shoot, the girls were so adorable together. trick-or-treating in park slope last year is one of our very favorite brooklyn nights of all time. eve would hurry from stoop to stoop with all of her candy bouncing out of the basket and littering the sidewalks as she ran. can't wait for this year when ruthie can run right along beside her. and pick up all the candy and claim it as her own.

I love seeing Eve's baby pictures. She was such a beautiful baby, so chubby and those EYES!
The sock monkey costume is probably the best baby costume I have ever seen.
I love LRRH & the wolf too.
I can't wait to see what you come up with this year.
I think... I need to start being more creative!
I really love your costumes, so awesome, I love the cheshire cat idea, all pink and purple right?, And Eve in a cute little pinafore, sweet!
I am sure this year you will impress us all, like the past years.
can't wait to see the girls.

They're all adorable, but I *LOVE* the sock monkey costume. Too cute!
Thanks for your consistency on your blog-keeping! It makes my day, always giving me a smile and a slight heartache that you and your family are on the other side of the country! Love and miss you! Loved the costumes of the past... can't wait for this year!
The sock monkey costume is the BEST! You are amazing. I'm with your mom - I always love it when you have a new post. They always make me smile! I tell my sisters and mom about your blog all the time.
ADORABLE! I can't even stand it. Too cute. The sock monkey?! Are you kidding me?! Best costume ever! Cody was a bee last year for Halloween. This year we just don't have the heard to dress up our dog. It was different in NYC.
Ha Ha... LOVE the sock monkey!
