Costumes on my kids is the only part of Halloween I really enjoy. I could do without the cheap belly-ache from too much candy and the kids bouncing off the walls from too much of that same candy. This year, Family Fun magazine and Salvation Army Thrift Store were great places to help with cheap, diy costumes.
Jacob couldn't stop talking about being an octopus and he made sure everyone knew he had eight legs. Sometimes he would get down close to the ground so he could look like a real octopus floating in the water.
Megan (upper right picture) wanted to be a jellyfish. Nothing a cheap sombrero and bubble wrap couldn't fix.
Anna was a fish, complete with glittery scales on the back.
They all had plenty of opportunities to show off their costumes even before trick or treating on Halloween night. Gordon even dressed up as a fisherman looking for a deep sea catch. I don't have a picture of his or mine yet. For my costume, I took a fun idea I had seen on the internet. Since I am about 4 months pregnant, I stenciled a skeleton on a black shirt and then painted a little baby skeleton lower on the shirt where it really is. All in all, we had fun in our costumes.
