I have a total girl-crush on Abby. KatyBeth is AWESOME!

It's not a Big Gulp, it's a "Caf-Pow!"Best NCIS was the Halloween episode where Abby dressed up as Marilyn Monroe.

Dangit! Now I have to figure out which NCIS person to dress up as. I can't pull off Ziva or Abby, because I am a dude, and I have a beard, so I can't be Gibbs,Tony, Ducky, or McGee. I guess I'll have to be one of the guys they are looking for. Oh, well

Just chiming in to say your kid rocks and that I'd love to see photos. And hello since I'm new (found you through a link on something Lawdog posted).

Yeah! Your kid should get together with mine! DD loves Abby! (Plus she relates that Abby is a scientist and mommy is a scientist She pretty much is used to the words already though, liquid chromatography, isoelectric focusing and blah blah comes up in dinner conversation all the time. She did ask last night though about sleeping in a coffin… Got to love kids, esp when they go to the pediatrician and he looks down at your three year old and tells her he was going to use mr. listen to your heart and she screws up her face and replies "you mean stethescope?". Priceless!Got to see the pictures!

AD,Your kid absolutely rocks! I've only caught part of one episode at the gym, but from what I've seen, I like it. The white lab coat is a great high-visibility costume, too, for passing drivers – if you trick-or-treat during dusk or night, you might also see if you can find some of the glowstick bracelets so popular with ravers and goths – easy sell, and as she swings her arms, they are very, very high visibility for taller kids, kids on bikes, and passing drivers.

How awesome! My 15 year old is also going to be Abby. For her hair though she is using a temporary black dye.

Thigh high boots, pig tail wig, dog collar, lab coat. All in Size 8 toddler?Don't you think that a shopping list like that gets your name on a special list or something?

KatyBeth is absolutely the best and you are bringing her up right. I'd go as Abby in a heartbeat if I wasn't a much more typically built lab rat…

Your kid rocks!

Abby is super hot! It's nice to see KB making an unorthodox Halloween choice, though.

Huh…I saw the picture before I saw your mention of "Abby from NCIS" (and I'm not a TV watcher, anyway). My first impression was that she was going as LabRat from Atomic Nerds. ~Oh, and I mean that in the kindest,most respectful way. {/grin}wv = "wersan," so I suppose I should be dressed as a lycanthrope from Tokyo when I hand out candy at the door this year.

My daughter was a big fan of Abby, too. I love a show that encourages kids to view science as interesting. It is almost as if schools arrange their curricula to eliminate any interest in science.Very cool.

Cool, Cool, Cool!!!My almost-12yo wants to be Abby when she grows up, so she now has great incentive to do well in math this year (6th grade). I'll have to suggest Abby as her costume.JoDee:If your daughter's hair is fairly light, she needs to be careful with the temporary black dye. Apparently it's not really that temporary on lighter hair. My little sister, a dark blond, used it one year and it never washed out. She ended up at the hair dressers' where they had to bleach it (which turned it green), and then over-dye it red. After close to 15 years, she still colors it, though she's back to a strawberry blond.

Our children think alike. One of mine wants to be Abby and the other wants to be Ziva David

hey AD I am the brit with cp that comments occasionally. alright she has twisted my arm, the House flame cane is in and I so will email a pic.

Thats The Katy i kno n love! LOVE, Emily Odom =]

You should be proud…Ally trumphs all of them – even Katie Perry, because she portrays not only beauty, but the brains to back it up with. There needs to be more strong, confident, bold women role model – both fictional and real, in the fields of science, math, and engineering.

Major Mass Spec.
