2000 This isn't her first Halloween costume, just the first w/dig camera. She stopped at every mirror she passed and just gazed at herself. It was very funny.
2001 Meg as a renaissance princess. I was proud of myself for making this costume from ebay fabric and remnants, for about $15. A guy handing out candy at the ward party looked at her and said "I can tell you're a princess, you don't need the dress!"
2002 Meghan as Cinderella. (She has a thing for princesses, you can tell.)
2003 Meg was Queen Esther, but Sam got pics of every other kid in the ward but ours.
2004 Jeannie from "I Dream of Jeannie". She watched this show on TV Land and loved it. But, she was very annoyed when all her friends thought she was Jasmine. This was another cheap costume, found the hurt-your-eyes-pink fabric on a clearance table.
2005 Princess Leia
2006 Fairy Princess
2007 Hippie flower child. This costume was one of my favorites, I just channeled my 1970's memories. I even macrame'd the belt and headband.
This year, she's going to be Marcia, a wizard from the Septimus Heap books. I'm guessing only she and I will know who she is. It's very purple, although we will probably have to forego the Purple Python Boots she's supposed to wear. I'm too busy to get creative enough to solve that problem on the cheap.

Holy cow!! "Someone has a lot of time on their hands" I only have one costume taken care of, and only 2 1/2 more days to come up with 3 more. Too bad I don't live by you, I would definitely be borrowing princess Leah for Ella.
I'm impressed. You put my bell-shaped santee-claws costume to shame.
Amy: I only have one kid to "costume" If I had more, they'd all be wearing sheets.
Jen: Nope, Santee Claws was GREAT, very original.
I remember trying to convince Meg at 3 or 4 that she wanted to be some cute animal, but she was insistant on the princess thing.
That last one was totally groovy in a far out way.
WOW!!! I'm floored by the amazingness of these costumes!! Bea-OO-tee-ful! My fave is the renaissance princess. TDF!
You do such a great job on costumes! I need you!
And it's so sad to see how much she's grown up. It went by too fast.
Septimus Heap books? Are they any good?
