I definitely want to see a picture of you as Miss Rumphius.
I've always loved Halloween. Partly it's because my birthday is so close to it, and partly because I've always enjoyed dressing up. Jeff isn't generally a costume guy, but this year Eleanor began planning for an Oz-themed Halloween last March, and we all were cast as characters. Here's how it turned out:
That's Eleanor as Dorothy and Isabel as Toto, plus our good friend Ian as the Tin Man (his mom Holly is the Cyclone in the back).
I cannot overstate how much Charles Santore's Wizard of Oz, the very first book I blogged about on this site, has to do with Eleanor's love of Dorothy. Yes, we've seen the movie at this point, but it was Santore's illustrations and thoughtful abridgement that brought the story to life for Eleanor, and now captivates both my children. An absolute classic.
Happy Halloween!
Love, Annie
