10.31.10: Half Nerd


(left to right: stella, fiona, brant, daphne)

The main Halloween event this year was Brant's work party as the girls are still too young to trick-or-treat. Brant came up with the idea of the girls costume this year and of course, wanted to incorporate science. That's right, he made them nerdy - but it's Halloween so somehow it seems okay. Fiona and Stella are Up Quarks while Daphne is a Down Quark. When you put them all together, it makes a Proton. I know, I know, but they are half-nerd after all.

I was able to reuse the birthday candle onesies from June and felt from last Halloween. I had to purchase one piece of blue felt ($.29) which I believe makes these costumes the cheapest ever. Regardless of cost, the idea is one-of-a-kind and the girls were comfortable and happy for Halloween. You really can't ask for more than that.
