happy halloween from under the sea

Introducing: The Little Mermaid cast

Sadie as Ariel, of course. The wig only lasted about an hour-but I was shocked it lasted that long!

Rory as King Triton.. He looked fantastic! Very recognizable, (and handsome) I thought. He didn’t like eating his wig half the time, but anyways…his was probably my favorite.

Charlotte was Sebastian the crab. She was a bit-er-crabby all night. (hahaehehe)

and I was Ursula, of course! complete with voice stealing shell and tentacles.

I like this photo-Ursula’s supposed to be mean so I played the part. Sadie told anyone who would listen that she was the little mermaid. Charlotte drooled most of the night, and Rory sweat a couple pounds off in his muscle suit.

Sadie and her best little friend Rayne were so cute together! Rayne was Daphne, and her whole family dressed up as characters from Scooby Doo. Rayne kept telling me to steal people’s voices all night-LOL!

ย We did trunk or treating at our church’s Halloween party, so I dressed up our car like we were under the sea-complete with flounder, jellyfish, Nemo, Marlin, and Dory, seaweed, etc.

What can I say? I love me a theme! Sadie won Cutiest Costume…not sure if that’s a mis spell…but she loved her little award. ๐Ÿ˜€
