• Happy Halloween!!!

  Here it is, another year with costumes and candy and kids getting sick.

  I was hoping this year, it would be the first in 6 years, the kids would make it through halloween without getting sick and we could run amok tonight. Sadly, this didn't happen. 

  WahE woke up a few mornings ago with a slight stuffed up nose. I groaned internally thinking that by tonight the whole house would be sick and I would have wasted my money on making costumes. By making I mean finding the pieces and paying  for them and if I can't find a piece making what is needed. 

  I was lucky, or should I say WahE was lucky, he ended up just netti potting his nose and he was fine by the end of the day. Then this morning LilE woke up with no voice. He drank hot liquids, chamomile tea, soup, warm water. He used the netti pot. And by this evening he sounded fine. He even said he felt fine. So off we went.

  WahE wanted to go as Tintin. We shopped and found each piece, most of them at The Childrens Place, I made the rucksack, we got the Snowy stuffed animal at amazon.com and well he already had the red hair and he was set. He sure is a good looking kid with the right clothes  he looks great.

   

   

    

   

  LilE wavered often and I didn't have the time to really figure out how to make his costume till he finally settled on Shadow Link. He loves The legend of Zelda and he likes finding out fan fic about it that is where Shadow Link comes from as well as one of the games. We bought him a black pair of pants, black scrubs, 2 inch black mens belt, White long sleeved shirt, and his black boots were bought from places such as Target, Costco, The Exchange, and a medical supply shop. The gloves were made by me as was the hat. The katana and strap to hold it onto his back from Amazon.com.

     

  The best part of this costume is most of it, like WahE's, can be worn daily. Or at least whenever he wants to.sd

  It was a great night. We dropped off MidE with his father and ran off to trock or treat. The place we go to had one house that does a haunted house in the few blocks we go to. We walked a total of 2.8 miles and found 2 houses that created haunted houses in their area. It was funny, LilE screamed till he was hoarse. Sadly after that he is no longer feeling fine. His throat hurts. The only down side was...

  I promised the boys that we would go out for breakfast for dinner. When we got to the place we were going to eat, they didn't have any room. We were told that they only had one server and she already had 6 tables with more that 6 in each party. So off to home we went.

  So at 9 at night the kids finally were fed.

  Fun was had by all and the kids are loaded up with candy for the next few weeks....or more.
