The above costumes are an obvious choice for Halloween for this Mystery Incorporated-loving trio. As you may have suspected, Skip is supposed to be Fred, and I am supposed to be Daphne. The adult costumes just never really came together, if you know what I'm saying.
Also, they tried to talk Grammie into being Hot Dog Water, but she (naturally) balked at the suggestion.
The trio have Daniel Day Lewis-ed their roles and have been "in character" for approximately two months. They are Velma, Shaggy and Scooby... or, as they will tell you... Velma Dinkley, Norville Rogers and Scoobert Doo.
George got a lot of laughs yesterday at the pediatrician's office when he responded to the what-are-you-going-as questions with pitch/delivery-perfect: SCOOBY DOOBY DOO!!!! He is ready for some voice work, should the current voice of Scooby Doo need to retire.
Lauren has been the biggest surprise with her love of Shaggy. To see girly Lauren don this wig has been a sight to behold. We tried to steer her toward Daphne, but she insisted on Shaggy. Even after the costume arrived, we told her we would order Daphne if she had second thoughts. She wouldn't hear of it. As she explained her position, "I like to eat... like Shaggy."
We drew the line at decorating one of the vehicles as the Mystery Machine...
...although Lauren graciously offered to paint it green for us.
Tonight they will be solving mysteries and occasionally trick-or-treating.
Happy Halloween!
