argh halloween
November 2, 2009

Our best pals are in town and we’ve been busy existing in the same space together, trying to harness as much as we can of each other’s energy as we are possibly able, hoping for it to last until our next encounter. Last night, it was almost 2am by the time I was hugging my body pillow in bed. And my belly hurt from the laughing about those days in a dorm and our idiosyncrasies that haven’t changed in 13 years. It is so affirming and grounding. Thankfully, however, our hairstyles have changed. Good girlfriends. The best. And when they marry the man you would have picked for them if given that opportunity? Bliss.

I am always a whole lot shy about even holding a camera, let alone taking a photo, with the amazing Paige Green in my presence. I am so lucky to have a friend with her mad skills. Anyone within the same solar system as her should consider hiring her to document your loved ones.

So because of Margot’s love of the a good ole piratey argh, this is what she was to be this Halloween. But first, she was a chicken in the morning.




This was her first Halloween where she could participate in the trick-or-treating and all. And perhaps the last that I get to pick her costume. And, I must say, I was super proud of my creation. With the exception of 1/2 yard of fabric I bought to make the skirt and hat, it was entirely concocted of stuff we had on hand. Papa did a killer job with her sword, I covered The Froggy Boots in electrical tape and whipped up buckles and an earring made from a chocolate wrapper (it’s a good thing I had that late night need to eat two largish candy bars last Monday).




Andy is still on the mend but we managed to amble about town during the day, meet up with a posse at a brewery for a pre-candy chin wag, trick-or-treat with our monkey and finish it all off with pineapple jalapeno pizza and stories with our feet up and our bodies down. It was a good day. A day in a string of good days. And I still have a few more to absorb as much of Paige and Arann as I can before they return to their year-round gardening state.

So far I am really liking November. Welcome, the month that could hold the birth day of bug’s sister.

What a wonderful surprise to find you here this morning…you know you could give your ma a heads-up ;}!

I need to get in touch with Paige, there is a photo or two I would like to get from her….you are right Burb, so much talent!! What a treat for her to take these photos.

Margot, I could just stare at you all day…what a sweet darling little person you are. “Auntie” Paige truly captured your beauty. Love the pirate getup matey! Who is the REAL chicken that laid those eggs? AND always nice to see Alice with you!

So glad Andy is getting back in the pink, a long haul.

Hello to Paige and Arann…friends are the best of all things!

xoxo, Mom/Gram

I love these pictures. Margot looks so cute. The boots, the sword, the whole get up. Margot is such an adorable little girl. I love her to death. The pic of the two of you walking down the street is gorgeous. Hey did Margot get to eat any of her trick or treat candy.

November – busy, exciting, life changing for the Cline family. You have us all in your corner wishing you all the best. XOXO

Argh! The sweetness! Both of Margot’s costumes are adorable – I love the shot of the chicken approaching her in her chicken costume. Too funny.

And you look extra super beautiful – such a good example for women everywhere.

Enjoy November 🙂

Are you kidding me with that last belly kiss photo? Paige could win a prize for that or you two could team up and sell a whole lotta whatever . . .

Margot is the cutest. xo

The chicken with the chicken slays me. My girls were once a chicken and an egg. Everywhere they trick-or-treated they got asked the inevitable question: Which came first…?

Love the shot of Margot kissing her sister…

What a treasure trove of family photos!

I love puma’s line of shoes. It feels like a track shoe, but it’s a great puma shoes for walking and everyday activities. Recommend a discount online store to my friends: http://www.pumaforever.com From there we can enjoy Puma Speed Cat with low price.
