We went to three different places tonight looking for costumes for the girls before finally settling one something. Can't say that I think too much of their choices, but it's their deal, so...
Darby insisted on getting something with a mask. She ended up picking a faceless-hooded thing that I don't even know what to call except faceless-hooded thing. There's some kind of mesh thing that goes over her face so that it looks like a faceless person with a hood.
Shelby is some kind of unicorn-riding fairy. When she puts it on it's supposed to look like she's riding a unicorn. I was a little better about it when she had picked a pony instead of a unicorn because we could have used some on-hand cowboy-type stuff to make her look like a cowboy riding a pony.
I had plenty of suggestions for them, but they wouldn't hear any of it. We've looked for costumes in some capacity for the last few weekends, so they've had plenty of variety to choose from. I shake my head every time I look at the costumes, but they've made their choices...

Guess we're not having a softball tournament after all. The team (coaches actually) decided not to participate this weekend. That's good in so many ways, but principally from the getting some rest perspective. Gee, by my tone, you'd think I was about to be OVER 30 or something.

UPDATE, 19 OCT
The girls have been invited to a Halloween party this weekend, so I'll be posting sample pics. But it's important to note the costume names.
Darby: "Mesh Face Robe"
Shelby: "Ride-A-Unicorn"
What great cosutme names. They sound like racing horse names. "And it's Mesh Face Robe by a neck!"

As promised, here are pre-party pics of Darby and Shelby.
