BOOOO!

Every day for the past two weeks this is what faced us as we walked in the door.  Why??  Because since the costume's arrival, the baby, now 18 months old, upon seeing it, would run, arms akimbo, screaming in terror from the room.  We thought that leaving it on the chair (and I admit it, wearing it on my head whenever I played with her) would get her used to it. As back-up, we had an Eagle's cheerleading outfit on stand-by.

And it worked.  Here is the whole family on Halloween.

Okay, she doesn't looked thrilled, but at least the terror is gone.  Notice her hand on her brother's hat.  She kept pulling his hat off and hitting him with it!

Here she and her step-brother, Indiana Jones, pose for us...

On another note, in Atlanta, my brother Jay, his wife NB, NB's sister and BIL prepare for a costume party.  (You can tell we're a shy and demure family.)  I'll post the pictures of the four of them as KISS soon.  (Extortion some convincing required!)
