I know there are moms and dads out there that believe in kids making their own costumes for Halloween. And I must admit there is something great in seeing a thoughtful homemade costume. But if you were like me growing up, thinking up something clever AND having the talent to execute it was beyond my reach. My homemade costumes never lived up to my perfectionist expectations.
Like many of my parenting choices, I choose to exercise the exact opposite of what I was raised with in hopes that my own kids will not suffer from “not crafty enough” syndrome. I have found other ways to be “crafty” and to release my inner Martha Stewart.
We began our Halloween celebration with a 1/2 of school which was eaten by the parade of costumes
Eli as a ninja minus the swords accessorizes (no weapons), which was the reason he chose this costume to begin with
Cal chose to be Redskin foot ball player, before they started to suck, and now wishes he made another choice.
We then spent the afternoon carving pumpkins
And on the day of, after threatening rain we made it out for tricks and treats
