Happy Halloween

This year we were invited to a costume party. I got this from the DI for $2.00 added a whole lot of red paint and....



For Matt's costume I got a women's suit top for $4.00 with some $8.00 men's pants and 2 rolls of white duck tape and wa la Beetle juice. We splurged a little on the wigs but I do have to say they complete the costume. I went a little art crazy on Mat ts demon tomb stone. But I like making that kind of stuff so it was fun. Matt tried to hand out bugs and snakes to kids and had the perfect Beetlejuice voice. It was hilarious to watch him interact with the kids.

Beetle Juice and Lydia Bride












Jake was Batman( picture coming soon)
Aiden was Robin for 5 minutes. He HATED it. And I knew how he felt about wearing costumes so I made a point to make something very simple and not complicated. Just a shirt and pants with the letter R. Cant get simpler than that right. Last year I made him wear his monster costume and he cried half the time. So this year I decided Trick or treat was supposed to be fun and what is fun about screaming about a costume that you don't want to wear. So Aiden went in a Gap hoody. Because of the weather (rain) we didn't get very many people question about his costume. And he had a lot of fun which meant Mom had fun.
