H is for Halloween

So with the title "Halloween," I bet you thought you would see some cute little trick or treaters, or maybe a scary lighted Jack-o-lantern or maybe just a cute little ghost cartoon on the outside of a big bag of candy.

These are some of my kids - actually the "kid" on the right I gave birth to 38 years ago, and the "kid" on the left will become mine on May 19th - the day they will marry.

I really like the purple hair!

And the green thing-ys on their heads? Those are "brain slugs" I made (at their request) for their costumes. I thought I left making costumes behind 25 years ago.

Guess not. :-)

Love the costumes. It's good to let your inner kid out once in a while. :)

Love this! The brain slugs are adorable! Isn't it nice that our grown kids still need us? :-)

I loved your, "I thought I left making costumes behind 25 years ago." At first I remembered some of my own children's costumes that I made years ago...but then I remembered Halloween 2011...I helped my son convert an old woven bedspread into a poncho to wear with an over-sized sombrero that he had.
The brain slugs are adorable!

Great stuff! And hearty congrats to the happy couple :)
And Halloween, oh my, it's getting more popular in Britain. Still, unlike my home in Vancouver, I don't get a couple of hundred 'trick or treaters' knocking on my door. And the candies are mine, all mine! :)
