These took forever to cut out! I finally stopped being my usual control freak, and let the girls help. Glad I did. They look pretty real too - One of Jenna's friends came to the door and was telling Jenna how she thought they were real. It was kind of funny.

Cutting this also tried my patience, but it turned out alright. Anna drew the face, Jenna traced her hands and feet, and Kate did the ribs after I had to throw away too many plates due to failed attempts.

Now for the eye candy- costumes! Let's start with the oldest so that's over with :)

Moody Greek goddess (my alter ego...)

The day of, Jesse borrowed his "Spartan" costume from a friend whose mom made it.

We didn't plan on matching, but it ended up that way. Make way for the Greeks!

Don't ask cause I have no answers.
