Halloween cometh

It is now the 21st of October. In ten days the children will be roaming the streets shouting for candy and dancing in their skin.

Stuperman was sick last year and so this will be the first time he will go trick or treating and know what he is doing. He is going as a monkey.Stuperman is so tiny that the costume his oldest brother wore at 2 is large enough for him to wear with his snow suit on under it.

Blue boy is going to be a dinosaur again becuase the costume still fits. He isn't very happy about it, but as he doesn't have a choice I think he will put it on when the day comes. It's either that or he will be staying home and handing out candy with me.

Rainbow Man, as the oldest and the one who seems to grow the most, usually gets a new costume every year. Last year it was a seven dollar sword, I made the rest, and he went as a pirate. This year we searched online and decided that the Mummy costume sounded the coolest (to him) and the easiest (to me).

We cut up a billion strips of white and tan and off white fabric remnants, the smaller ones I sewed together, and we will spend a few hours on the 31st tying him up in strips of cloth!

Should be interesting. I will be sure to take pictures!
