The Vampire and the Bat

Sierra made her own costume this year and Mason and Allie came up with their own without much help from me.  I challenged the kids to not spend any money or they may have heard me say I wouldn't spend any money on costumes.  We have so many dress-up items and resources here at home.  I think they learned you could actually make something out of what you already have.  They also checked out Grandma's attic for things they might use.

Mason asked me to buy Harry Potter glasses and Allie wanted fangs and that seemed reasonable enough.  I hope it taught them a little bit about resourcefulness.  By the time they all had a bucket full of candy I really don't think they cared what they were wearing.
