lynbert: kids in costume

kids in costume

just after i picked simon up from school i took a few pictures before we started trick-or-treating. i just wish mim has been in her lion costume. she was refusing to put it on. but at least she had a mask.

simon was in character all day. he loved showing off his ninja moves.

and mim loved copying him. but probably the best thing about these shots? mim's hand isn't in her mouth.

and then as soon as he joined her in the frame, she stopped.

this is my favorite.
