Halloween 2018

For Halloween this year, my children did NOT dress up as characters from Vampirina. Except Laney. She was Vampirina. But the other kids were definitely not characters from that TV show.

Eliana dressed up as a vampire. When I asked her what she wanted her costume to look like, she said sparkly black dress, with a blue face, and with her hair in pig tails shaped like bat wings. But she was not Vampirina.

Will wanted to be a werewolf. He wanted his costume to be a gray werewolf with big shoulders. When I suggested that most werewolves had fur coming out of human clothing (because they are humans that turn into wolves), he said he didn't want human clothes, just fur. Because he was a dog that turned into a werewolf. But he was not Wolfie.

Laney said she wanted to be Vampirina. Like from the TV show!

My blue faced vampire with her vampire pumpkin. She ended up skipping the bat wing headband.

My dog turned werewolf next to his werewolf pumpkin. He is howling. This might be one of my favorite costumes I have ever made.

I know he looks silly, but I told him to show me his tail.

Vampirina (her outfit is completely store bought) next to her kitty pumpkin. Eliana did her makeup.

Happy Halloween!
This year we went trick or treating on our street with the neighbors from across the street. It rained all day, but then about an hour before trick or treating began, the sky cleared and the sun came out. It was a perfect evening for being outside. Will only made it partly up the road before he was ready to head home and hand out candy with me. Laney however was the most enthusiastic about going door to door! She, Eliana, and Violet went up and down our entire street and even halfway up the next street over. Everyone had a great time!
