oooh i've been waiting for this special day to arrive! the magical halloween celebration hosted by the fantabulous vanessa of A Fanciful Twist is finally here. click on the link to visit vanessa's party and to see a list of all that are participating. so put on your striped tights and your witch hats and your polka dotted bow ties and come along for the ride!
my little story starts with lulu and edwin. they were terribly excited about attending miss v's halloween celebration. they stayed up all night making little party hats and everything.
when the alarm clock sounded that it was finally time to get to the party, they could hardly contain their excitement!! hip, hip, hooooRay!
but a mean old witch, that rented the apartment below them, had other plans. she cast a spell and sent them to another place and time. one where they were sure to never find their party.
there was a very bright light and lulu and edwin were suddenly swirling about
when they finally stopped swirling, they looked at each other and exclaimed..."oooh that nasty witch must have sent us to another place and time. how will we ever find the halloween party now!?" lulu and edwin did what anyone would do in such a situation. they dusted off their party hats, held their heads high and set off to find a way home.
they came upon a strange little group of clowns who demanded they have a crab walking race. of course they complied.
and of course lulu won. she was a very fast crab walker. they cheered with delight and told lulu and edwin to look for the girl holding a star. she could help them find their way.
they walked and they walked....enjoying each others company...until they saw the girl holding a star.
she told them they were being very brave and to keep their heads held high and to not be afraid and to remember what day it was. a day filled with magic...halloween! so, lulu and edwin headed off into the forest. "a pumpkin patch!" lulu exclaimed. "oh we must get a pumpkin and take it to vanessa, we just must!"
lulu picked the very best one and was the happiest lost girl ever.
but she knew they must get UN-lost very soon, or they would indeed miss the halloween celebration. lulu and edwin asked every interesting character they came upon. "how, oh how, do we find our way home?" edwin asked girls in boats.
lulu asked girls dressed in black...
the tiny pin people were completely no help...
things were getting creepy. it felt like they were being watched...
but, thankfully for lulu and edwin, they met a delightful old couple named rosie and albert. they all sat down and played a game of cards. when suddenly it hit lulu..."OF COURSE!"..."it's right here in front of us edwin!" when indeed it was. the magical number of halloween.
31
they quickly said farewell to rosie and albert and sped off to where they began. they ran around in a circle 31 times with all the confidence in the world and guess what? it worked! lights started flashing and things started spinning...
and in the blink of an eye, they were home. that mean old witch could NOT ruin their fun. they headed off to the halloween magical celebration with oodles of excitement and joy!
