Halloween has come and gone. The candy is no longer here, the decorations are put away and the costumes are stored for another time. Not another year per se but another time. The boys have always enjoyed costume play. I enjoy costume play so they have always have a variety of dress up things to play with. Chris and loved shopping the the days after halloween to get 70% off costumes for the boys to play with throughout the year. The most used were the wizard cloaks and scary masks when they were younger. The costumes they use now are more involved. Seamus has a Link costume I made him for his birthday last year and they all love getting dressed in the suit jackets and bowler hats from last years halloween. I love getting dressed up!!!! Halloween gives me the excuse to do it!
Each year we try to make the costumes from second hand clothes. I am not a seamstress by any means so if it is not easy it doesn't get made. Here are some pictures of Halloween's past

Halloween 2008
We used bandage gauze to wrap them. Easy costume idea. Not so easy to keep the gauze in place.
Halloween Party attire 2009
We threw a big halloween party with the theme of haunted abandoned historic hotel. The boys played parts. Eoin was the big shot owner, Liam was the butler, and Seamus the bartender. I was a maid as you see below and Chris was a creepy handy man. My parents played the part of two missing tourists from the 1900's.
