Musings on...Halloween

The Puking Pumpkin

It only took me till Friday to get into the Halloween spirit.  I did not wear any of the masks I made, but I did lend them out to people in need of a last minute costume.

I knew that we had a party to go to on Friday, and nothing was going to work unless I found a costume that my husband would wear.  The night before, we decided on Jerry Garcia.  I would find a beard and glasses. The rest would be easy, as we already had the clothing.
I could only find a long brown beard and mustache at the Halloween store.  I trimmed the beard, used the leftover for hair that I glued in a baseball cap,  and spray painted everything a little grey.  I went as a deadhead.  Not original, but it worked.

Macabre Marionette

On Halloween night, my eldest daughter dressed up as a macabre marionette.  She had bought red contacts for last Halloween, and used them again.  I think she looked both beautiful and scary.  Youngest daughter decided to go as Barbie Butcher.  Complete with pink clothing, a bloody apron and a cleaver.  I love  my kids twisted sense of humour!

 I was a vampire, and perhaps a little too much for the younger kids!  It was fun and finished by 8:00!
