aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?

For Halloween, Maeby decided that she wanted to be Princess Leia, above all other options (actually, Jenn chose the costume, but together we decided that it's what Maeby would want had she the power to clearly communicate such knowledge.)
We spent the holiday with Chris and Sara in Salem, going trick r' treating up near Papa's old stomping grounds with Mae's three cousins.




Here she is with Hayliegh, whom the townspeople kept calling a bumblebee, for some reason. It was either really dark that night, people were really drunk, or Salem has the worst entomological savvy in the western hemisphere


With Jayna - a kitty/tiger


the whole gang - Alec would only wear the hat for pictures, spending the rest of the evening carrying it faithfully

With Grandma, who flew out for the festivities!

At her first door!

Mama came decked out as a member of the Dharma Initiative medical staff.

Eventually, we had to put another hat on underneath the wig, as it kept falling off. We probably could have just done her hair into the Leia coif (it's probably long enough), but we didn't have the time or the inclination to pin her down for a half hour of screaming.

Apparently, Papa's costume was to look like a total dork. This is why I prefer things behind the camera.

All changed and ready for bed.

This isn't the Hayliegh blog - but if she keeps posing like this I may have to give her a guest spot now and then.

Raiding the spoils.

She doesn't eat candy, but she does like to taste the wrappers and throw the pieces around.
