Here are my three little munchkins! Dawson was Blue from Blue's Clues, Daeton was Pablo from the Backyardigans, and Emmy was a pink flamingo. The first picture was taken at the beginning of our evening at Spooctacular (a thing our local zoo does every year) and Emmy was NOT happy to be in that costume. But the second pic was towards the end of the evening and she was happy again by then!

Here are my two. DD is the Wicked Witch of the West and DS is the Cowardly Lion. Friends of our were Dorothy, Glenda the Good Witch, and the Tin Man. That was an awesome picture but the only way to get in small enough to attach was to make it too small to see.
