Halloween

Wooohooo Halloween!

Braeden wanted to draw the face on his jack-o-lantern this year. Here is what he came up with...

OUCH!

Heck yeah lets cut him open!

Guts anyone?

Ewwwww!

Both pumpkins glowing in the night.

Mine is slightly CRAZY!

Braeden's is MEAN!

For Halloween Braeden settled on Darth Maul from Star Wars. I am not a fan of masks and there aren't any costumes out there without a mask. We had to find a way around it. I figured I could paint the design on his face I just needed to figure the whole horns around his head. I decided to go with a latex bald cap to attach the horns and paint.
Here is how it went....
Bald cap
Paint, horns and glue

Horns are on

Does he look like Darth Maul or a multi horn cow?

So that's the cap.

I put the cap together several weeks in advance to make sure it would stay glued in place. Then on Braeden's birthday we did a full run with costume and make-up. Here are several pictures from his photo shoot that day.






Now it's time for trick or treat. Here he is ready to go.

We had all the younger cousins together for the outing. Here is the lineup.

On the hunt for candy!

Awwww...so cute!

I didn't realize you'd made the headpiece, too. That's pretty crafty. Good job!

Cool. You are pretty darn creative. It's kind of annoying, you know. :op I'm the one with no skills.
