Halloween 2011

Sadie was Medusa.  She alternates every year being something sweet and something evil.  This was obviously an evil year.  We were trying to figure out how we could alter a dress, possibly from Goodwill, but then she found this fabric.  She created the design of it by herself and she only had to stitch a couple of shoulder seams.  Note the scary snakes!  Luckily her hair looks pretty snake-ish all on it's own.  We just added a couple of fake ones in for effect.








Spencer conceived this whole crash test dummy costume.  We just bought some sweats, Felix took them in some and Spencer did the rest, including the make-up.  (He did have some help running over the costume with a painted car tire.)

 

Jared was a viking.  Earlier this year he had bought the set of hat, axe, and shield.  Felix quickly whipped up this tunic from fun fur and the rest we improvised from things around the house.  Jared wanted to do his own make-up, so we let him.  I think it turned out great!




 

 Lissy made such a cute little cheerleader!  I found the skirt super cheap at Goodwill and Felix whipped up a top for her. (No pattern!)

Choncho, obviously proud, wearing his pirate costume.  Need we say more? (As a note, this picture was taken AFTER Halloween.  We couldn't find the costume on the actual night.  I'm pretty sure he had hidden it.)

Mason was a hunch-back but unfortunately we didn't get any pictures of him -- so typical!
