Out with the mermaid ... in with Plan B



Remember the failed mermaid costume? Well, we came up with costume plan B. Costume plan B was nearly cost-free, very comfortable, very Sera (and very me!), and most importantly very cute, in my opinion. Ha ha. I pieced together a few items - one oversized combat pants (gift from a neighbour), one white singlet, boots (borrowed from Gaston), black eye-shadow (this, I had to buy but I figured I'd use it for myself one fine day) ... and what do we have? G.I. Sera!

All I can say is ... Sera loved the outfit, most especially the 3-size too big boots (are you surprised?). We had a dress rehearsal for Johan (he couldn't make it for the 'Trick or Treat' session) and she was happily stomping around in the boots, like a real soldier. Phew! A costume good enough for her.

The three little friends gathered at our place for a ra-ra session before the 'Trick or Treat'. We tried to get a photo of them together, quite impossible really! We set off at 6pm, happy, excited and full of energy ... ready to go round the compound. Kids of all ages were having a blast, zig-zagging from one house to the next, competing to get their buckets filled up. I'm not sure if Sera, Gaston and Keylan understood why those kind adults were giving them sweets that they'll probably never get to eat, but they just went along with the flow and had fun picking out the sweets and dropping them into their buckets. Trick or Treat ended an hour later with three very relieved mothers and three very happy and maybe clueless over all the commotion kids.

Absolutely no cooperation from these three when it came to taking photos. So now, I have no choice but to present three photos in which one of them is looking at the camera. First up, Sera.

Kelyan with the sexiest puckered lips!

And Gaston with a big smile!

Sera dancing to 'Wheels on the bus' while the other two boys go ... "errrr, what's up with her?"

Not sure what's with the marshmallow in her mouth, but here's Sera with the big boys getting getting their treats
