Halloween

It's with great pride that I was able to keep up my tradition and (somewhat) make the boys costumes. To say I "made" everything is only partially true. I guess I try to steer away from the store-bought costumes and just piece together inexpensive items.

Sam's was easy. He isn't too fond of wearing hats, so he wore Max's hand-me-down Chargers jersey with matching sweats. Not too terribly exciting, but he still looked cute. Maybe next year we'll be more adventurous. We were happy Heather came trick-or-treating with us.

Max was a pirate.

Here is a rundown of his costume

White shirt--Max's closet

Red Vest--Dollar Tree t-shirt that I cut. Black felt for button holes and yarn for ties

Hat (not pictured) and eye patch-- Dollar Tree

Socks--Gift from Aunt Liz last year

Bandanna--Michael's

Dreadlocks--I made them from yarn and attached them to an elastic headband

Pants--thrift store find that I tattered up

Black Bird on his shoulder--Borrowed from my fall decor

It was a fun night hanging with long-time friends and watching Max going door-to-door to get "andy."
