The Requisite Halloween Costume Photo

I didn't even bother with costumes until Friday afternoon because they kept changing their minds. It was a half day at school so once W came home we started work on the costumes. How lucky that I had just bought him these bright orange pants! As you can see his costume is mostly duct tape, silver spray paint and various hoses and tools from around the house. A wanted to be Ben Kenobi and his costume is an old long sleeved shirt of Eric's and my raincoat. I put cornstarch in his hair and made him the beard (W kept teasing that he looked like Santa Claus). He has a green lightsaber made of, yep, green duct tape and foam pipe insulation. We ran into Princess Leia and Darth Vader out trick or treating. Unfortunately we did not get a photo of the little dog dressed as yoda - so cute. M wore her purple and gold princess costume, it's her favorite. We went to Strafford for candy and then to Barrett Hall for their annual party. It was a great time, beautiful weather. One really nice thing about Halloween in small towns is there's not much candy when you get home!
