Well it is March! What does that mean? It is time to get the creative juices flowing for another awesome year of halloween costumes and props. This year I plan to update some props with better things and make a couple new cool props as well. This should be fun. On the costume side of things i have an i dea of what i want to do this year. This may be my last hoorah at costumes for myself for work. I am going to focus more on my props as I want them to start getting over the top. Costuming takes some time to do. This way i can concentrate on my props and the family costumes. Xander thinks he knows what he is going to be and i will start working on that shortly. Annamarie???? Kristi????? Whatever they decide i will try to make it the best i can with the time i have. Thanks for Looking.

This year my son wanted to be a Tusken Raider. So we went all out. Everythign but my bandoliers was homemade. I think we did all right. The girls were a butterfly and tinker bell. They turned out well too. In fact, maybe the misses will wear her hooker boots one night. HA!
At the Ky Horse park Campout, I placed 2nd (was beat by a store bought hulk hogan costume.), Xander was second as well (beat by an astronaut.) Unfortunatly the girls did not win at all. MeeMaw won third for her "Frankie's Girl" costume.
Here they are:
Well here it is, this is my son's costume for this year. A Tusken Raider. Everything is hand made from the mask to the bandolier. I used things like pvc pipe, cigarette boxes filled with spray foam to make them not collapse, markers, and electrical twist connectors. Stay tuned for instruction on what I used and how I created each piece. The only things left to complete are the hands and all I need for that are some glvoes that I cannot seem to find. Also we will dirty up the robes by tea dying, using pastel chalk, and some rit dye thrown on it for a "dried blood splatter" effect. Some pieces are simple like the boot while others are a little harder. Enjoy!
This year we were a few different things and there was no real theme for xander and myself. This was not by choice but because my costume (lego Darth Vader) did not turn out that well. With everything else going on I did not have the time and could not get the legs the way I wanted to so I skipped it and wore my Viking items from my SCA. Xander was a Stormtrooper. The costume was made using about $10 of craft foam. Details on how I made the costume to come soon.
This year the girls were penguins. The penguins were from Simplicity pattern # 3639. They were made in fleece and were quite warm. However they were oh so cute.
The girls were a crowd favorite at the Horse Park. Xander placed 3rd with his costume and I placed 2nd.
Meemaw and Pap were a witch and monster.
