Today we had the official photo shoot for our Halloween cards. It was a challenge this year. Evelyn is in this phase where she keeps this strange expression on her face, I call it her Lil Face (that's after a scene in a David Lynch film), basically she scrunches up her nose and lips and looks like she just ate a lemon AND is smelling stinky garbage or something. In summary, not the cutest expression to feature on a card, so I had that to work around and also the inherent stubbornness that is Evelyn. I was more stubborn than she is, combine that with the power to with-hold candy for three days and I ended up with some decent pictures I think.


It's no secret that Ev wanted to be Link from the Zelda line of video games and with the help of my Aunt Tanya we were able to do that for her. It's an awesome costume and I can't wait for it to be seen for now though here is a picture of the "real" Link and what we had to work with.....

This is a picture of one of the illustrations in the Nintendo Game Guide that Ev carries everywhere. She loves this little elf, he is her first hero of rock and roll proportions. We have also been letting her play the game, you know work the controls and make decisions about what to do next- she's pretty good.
