We had so much fun with costumes this year! Drew wanted to be on skates. With her personality, I knew she could pull off a Roller Derby Girl. And pull it off she did! She stayed in character the whole time that costume was on. I had a blast dressing her up - from the ratted hair, and tattoos to the black nails and custom shirt with her derby name on the front - Drew's A Bruiser.
Rebecca is always afraid of Halloween, so I thought if she had a beautiful costume, she might enjoy it more. A few weeks before Halloween, she spent some time visiting Aunt Carrie in Oakland. They went to china town and found a beautiful Chinese silk dress complete with a matching paper umbrella. She looked amazing!
Matthew is at the age that he doesn't dress up for school and he wasn't sure if he wanted to go out Trick or Treating, so I knew I did not want to go crazy with his costume. We shopped the day before Halloween and came up with a great, inexpensive idea - Spider Food! I covered him in webbing and covered the webs with tiny plastic spiders. He also had the Mamma spider. He loved the idea but ended up hating the costume!!! I convinced him to pose for a few photos and then he tore it off and handed out candy that night. All well... It was still fun!
