Halloween Fun


Have you ever tried to make a Halloween costume and found it wasn’t as easy as it looked? I’m a creative, “do-it-yourself” person and I love to sew, but my one attempt at making a fancy outfit didn’t turn out as well as I had expected. I bought a pattern, material and all of the accessories to make a witch costume for my daughter when she was eleven years old. It took several days to put it all together and it looked great on the hanger. The only problem was that when she put it on the outfit looked more like a black tent on her than a costume. She didn’t seem to care, though, and wore it anyway!

Now my daughter has her own children and she loves to dress them up on Halloween. However, she doesn’t have time to make their costumes so she pays someone else to do it. (Great idea!) Last year, her son, Gabe, went trick-or-treating as Napoleon Bonaparte. He was such a cutie pie in that suit.

This year he’s going as a dinosaur. I don’t know what my granddaughter, Gwen, has decided to wear, but I’m fairly certain her costume has the word “Frozen” somewhere in the description.
 
We’ve got the pumpkins carved, candy bars to hand out and we’re all ready for the day.

Happy Halloween!

    Wow. I never tried anything as complicated as this pic (!), but did always make my son's Halloween costumes. Such fun. Happy Halloween, Denise!

      I don't know where Misty got that costume, but I think it was a friend who has a shop on Etsy who made it.

    Denise, I was just thinking about our new granddaughter and the photo my son and his lovely wife sent the other day of the little one sitting beside her first jack o lantern! It brought back such sweet memories!

      The little ones are so cute in their costumes, aren't they?

      Same to you! I wish we had nice weather for Halloween like we had last weekend, but it's only going to be in the mid-30s. Yikes--I'm so not ready for this.
