Moscow Trip - 2, Halloween!!

Kaleb was given the task of coming up with a costume from stuff around the house, and he wanted to be a mummy, so we put our heads together and came up with this. I cut a paper towel roll into 1/4ths, and Nanna and I wrapped him up, securing it strategically with clear duct tape.


Jennifer added the finishing make-up touches, and he was ready to go. It took quite a while to get him all wrapped up, but he was patient. (When all was said and done, it took almost as long to cut it off him as it did to put it on.)


Claire went as a princess... not really a stretch for her, right?!


The finished products are below. We decided to lose Kaleb's "hat" and go with flour in the hair instead. It was raining, so we went Trick-or-Treating at the mall, with what seemed like half the kids in two counties. All the stores were participating, and it was lots of fun. They both got lots of comments; Kaleb kept hearing how cool his costume was, and Claire got plenty of, "Ahhh...Ohhh... how cute," as you might expect. :-) Trick-or-Treating at the mall is really quite an effecient endeavor... more candy for steps taken than any neighborhood I've ever been in.


Here's a little clip of Kaleb getting his makeup done. Be sure and note Claire's two reactions at the end.

Hope you had a Happy Halloween!!
