Halloween 2019

Happy Halloween from two kids who know how to pick obscure costume ideas!:

Madeleine, true to her Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance obsession, is Deet the Gelfling.  Seeing as a Deet costume doesn't actually exist, I think I managed to hodgepodge something together well enough to pull off a costume of a character that pretty much no one has ever heard of! 

(The actual Deet puppet:)

Julia is a Plague Doctor because...well, Julia has some strange obsession with the Black Plague.  Apparently she's not alone in this, because here she is with two of her best friends:

                                                  Plague Doctors.  I guess it's a thing.


Julia went trick-or-treating with five other friends, while I took Madeleine and her friend out around the neighborhood.  The highlight of the evening was this:

MADELEINE: Trick-or-treat!
TEENAGER GIVING OUT CANDY: Wait, are you a Gelfling?
MADELEINE: (explosive with joy) YES!
TEENAGER: Which one?  Brea or Deet?
MADELEINE: (jumping in delight) Deet!

OMG, someone actually RECOGNIZED her and actually knows her character.  SO exciting!

The plague doctors and crew have returned from their trek, while Deet and her friend are out for Round Two in another part of the neighborhood with Ethan.

Happy Halloween, all!
