Halloween Costumes

Kevin and yours truly at a costume party as Sharkbait and Groovy Mama. C was so disturbed by my costume that he kept trying to pull off my wig the whole evening. Notice that we wiped out M.

Here we have the mummy, the Russian princess (or perhaps the peasant princess), the Ladybug, and someone masquerading as Dad. I made both the mummy and Russian costume dress. Never will I make a mummy out of cheesecloth strips again. It would make me so happy to throw the mummy costume in the trash except for the amount of work I invested in it. It was difficult and it was a mess. But C did look pretty darn good in it and he received lots of compliments. K received lots of compliments for her costume too, but it really was the headdress that made her costume. We purchased it in Russia. We happily recycled K's costume from baby days for M.



On our way down to the neighborhood where we trick-or-treat. There is no trick-or-treating where we live because the homes are too far apart and the roads are steep and dark, so we impose upon our city neighbors for some free candy. They decorate their houses and make the whole night really fun.

Trick or treat!
