A STILL LIFE PAINTING!
Like this:
Only better:
A Still Life With Fruit. And Cute.
At least the bowl is still paying attention.
Catch up on how we got here in Part One. Or just meet the art!
E the Banana
Pensive banana.
Chiquita did NOT sponsor this post.
N the Apple
I can't believe she tolerated this.
She only ran when she saw the candy bowls. And squirrels. Otherwise, it was the SLOWEST WALK EVER.
Alex the Grapes
Finally all the grapes are back. Also the headband is for a dog. Shut up.
Scott the Bowl & Frame
Just in case you thought he was a diaper.
Hope y’all had a happy Halloween! We did. Once we left the neighborhood party and methodically collected enough candy to not grocery shop for a week.

Great family costume! I never would have thought of a doing a still life, I love how it turned out! The frame really pulls it together, go Scott for playing that part. I love it when people are willing to sacrifice for Halloween.
Awesome! Glad you had a Happy Halloween!
I’m feeling like the second “framed family” photo should totally be your Christmas card : ) love it.
You’re a genius! But then what will we do for that entire day I run after my Christmas-colored children yelling STOP! SMILE! STAND NEAR EACH OTHER! NOT THAT CLOSE! PUT BACK ON YOUR PANTS!
HYSTERICAL! LOVE that you all had a picture frame around you. Too fun.
Love N’s hair, love the costume! Glad you all had fun and have lots of sugar to supply energy!
Great costume theme. And I am totally impressed that y’all made it.
Happy sugar crazy week!

So cute and so glad that night is over!
Both the pensive banana and the adorable apple made me smile. You are so creative!
What great costumes! I love the “I’m a bowl” shirt. You guys rock!
My favorite part — the color coordinated paci! That’s commitment to a theme for a one year old!
I really do love those costumes. I bet the frame was quite a pain to drag around though.

I’m now thinking that using the StarFleet costumes was totally cheating.
I love Scott as a bowl.
I love that he had a shirt that said “I’m a Bowl.”
And I love that you had a frame.
That’s very existential of you.

Max points and kudos for creativity. Point of order… N was going at the Proper Speed. Stalking and hunting are SUPPOSED TO BE SLOW. You only pounce when you lay eye on your prey. Scott- The Uber Husband/Father! Being the Bowl? The vessel that holds the family together? Kinda Freudian when you think of it. How come you didn’t get to be the bowl?
PS: Spotted the Mobile Kid Transporter (wagon). WTG!!
The great thing is hubby can wear the “I’m a bowl” shirt long after Halloween. Let the questions begin!
I always love when people do family costumes like that. We’ve never done it but I’m thinking next year might be the year. Better start thinking now.
You outdid yourselves! I wish you had come to my house! The best costumes we saw this year were also from a family: The father, who is actually a doctor, came dressed as a patient, complete with a hospital gown and bare rear end out the back (made of plastic). His three year old was dressed as a surgeon, complete with a stethoscope and mask. The mom was a nurse, and she had a hypodermic and a bedpan. I love Halloween. We ran out of candy. molly

That is hilarious. It totally looks like a diaper. Sorry. But still, you get props for creativity. I haven’t dressed up in years.
Oh- you are my most favorite costumed family!
I love it- even if the bowl looks slightly like a daiper… What? Who said that?- shut up.

AAAAAAHHHH WOw!!! It’s the most awesome family halloween costume I’ve ever seen by someone I actually know! Kudos for health consciousness, art reference, craftiness and husband-who-will-play-along-with-craftiness.
I knew you would love it
