Greek Gods and Godesses

This is a little late, but better late than never.

We absolutely LOVE Halloween at our house! This year for Halloween we dressed up as Greek Gods and Godesses. We chose these costumes because of the book series "Percy Jackson and the Olympians." (not to mention, it was a CHEAP costume choice!) Scott was Zeus! His thunderbolt was a huge strike! (Pun intended) Sundy was Hera! (She's married to Zeus - so it was a natural choice....) The girls chose the Godesses they wanted to be. Kiara chose Aphrodite, the Goddess of Beauty and Love! Katia chose Athena because she is Zeus' favorite child and she wanted an owl to represent being the Goddess of Wisdom. We loved portraying these classic figures. And we were surprised how many people knew about the "Percy Jackson" books already! Can't wait for the movie to come out this February! :-)

We spent Halloween with our good friends, the Haskins! They love Halloween also! Kelly was a really cute and sassy waitress from the 50s. Autumn, who is now 3 years old, was the most adorable Dorthy. And she can quote the movie forward and backwards too! Lori was the Wicked Witch of the West! And she pulled it off frighteningly well... Yes, Sundy's best friend is a WITCH! :-)
