13th day of halloween

Here we are on the 13th day of Halloween. It's been a lot of fun for me to trip down memory lane, so thanks for coming along for the ride. 
 
Over the past several months, L has been very into the BBC programme called Sherlock, so she naturally decided to dress as Sherlock Holmes' BFF, Dr. John Watson. This version of Sherlock is set in present-day London and Watson is a war veteran, recently returned home from Afghanistan. In the first episode, he walks with a cane, so L decided her Watson would need one as well.
 
 


 
 













 
A visit to the resale shop yielded jeans, a plaid shirt and a black peacoat. Since it was super cold tonight, she grabbed John's scarf on the way out the door. The wig was meant to be a "Ceasar" hairstyle, but on a head her size it was a close enough approximation of Martin Freeman's Fisher Price Man Hair. 
 
 
 
 And here she is with her trick-or-treating companion, A, who dressed as "The Night".


John passed them as he was driving down the street and he thought they were A's older sister M and a dude. He thought his own daughter was a dude! Ahahaha! 

Hope you all had a safe and fun Halloween. :)

  3. This is TOO MUCH! L is so cool.

    An inspiration for us all, and an excellent reminder as to which programme to enjoy next.

    Did you get any Almond Snickers? That was my favorite Halloween thing this year, next to L's wig.
