follow the yellow brick road

We followed the yellow brick road last night to the annual "Boo-fet" at our neighborhood country club. They do a really cute kid-friendly buffet, and then top it off with a balloon guy, face-painting, a trick or treat table, and a haunted house.
Elise set the tone for costumes this year when she decided (while we were reading the chapter book Wizard of Oz) that Boss would make a perfect Toto and she would be a great Dorothy! I was thrilled when Bennett, on his own, decided he wanted to be the Tin Man! You know I love some coordination and a cohesive theme! So, Lila decided she would be the good witch. I decided she can think she is the good witch, but the wicked witch costume would be much easier to pull together! :) (She does play a good villain too!) We were able to borrow the Dorothy costume from Kimberly, so I only had to buy the Tin Man, and then the fabulous sparkly red shoes were buy one get one 1/2 off at Target, so both girls got a pair.



Our little good/wicked witch!




Dorothy and Toto



Off to see the Wizard....we would (to our surprise!) be picking up the scarecrow later!






We ran into lots of friends at the Boo-fet, and how perfect that Bennett's new buddy, Jack Ramsey, was the scarecrow! We ended up getting a giant table with the Richardsons, Groners, and Bristers (minus Patrick and Su).



Constance and Elise
Our little witch was feeling much more wicked than good last night and so Lila and I ended up having to go after about 30 minutes. I think she was just really tired, because she passed out before David and the other two even got home. But, Elise and Bennett had a TON of fun, and are already talking about next year!
