Halloween is a big deal in my house. My parent's just celebrated their 49th wedding anniversary this Halloween, and if that doesn't set the tone for my family, I don't know what does. I'm not saying we're scary--just filled with tricks and treats! Each year, I try to come up with something "different" for the kids to dress up as. I'm a Graphic Artist, so the usual, just won't do.
Oksana was Medusa, the Greek Gorgon who had snakes for hair and could turn a person into stone with one look. Her costume was fairly easy until I had to figure out how I was going to put all of the rubber snakes I bought, into her hair.
Philip was a "Dinosaur Hunter" and was dresses in safari clothes and carried a magnifying glass and a few spare dinosaur bones.
Nico was "Baby Jaguar" from Go Diego, Go! He had the most homemade costume as it was made from a sweatsuit and lots of hot glue.
Every year we go to our town's Halloween Carnival. Oksana has won the costume contest for her age group five times. Unfortunately, this year wasn't one of them. I thought she looked great-- competition was just tough. Philip won 2nd place in his age group for his costume. I'm sure his clowning on stage helped draw attention to him. Nico won Scariest costume in his age group. He didn't look scary-- but he kept growling at the judges.
