Something Crafty This Way Comes

I finally got Geof's Halloween costume made. I wish I could say that the reason for my procrastination was the enormous undertaking the making of the costume would be. But that would be a lie. This year Geof decided to be a ghost and I refuse to buy a ghost costume. It's the easiest homemade costume there is! Geof even helped me sew it with the sewing machine. He is really excited about the up-coming festivities. We decided to do a "Dress rehearsal" with make-up and costume all coming together. Here is my little ghoul in full regalia...

He didn't like having the fabric over his face so we cut out a hole instead and painted his face. He told me that his costume "rocked" so my Mommy ego is elevated a bit. For the big night we also got some glow sticks to put in his bucket. Partially for safety purposes and because it just looks cool. I thought about stitching some inside his costume so he would glow too, but I haven't made up my mind yet. October through December is my favorite time of year. I hope everyone out there is enjoying it as much as we are!!
