Halloween Hauntings...

Keep in mind that all persons pictured below are indeed in costume. No one was harmed in the making of these Halloween pictures. Seriously.

Owen chose to go to the youth Halloween activity as a BYU fan who accidentally sat in the Utah section of an athletic event and got beat up. I used eyeshadows and fake blood to create his costume.

Liam is supposed to be a Jawa from Star Wars. If my dad were home I would have had him help me rig up some pinpoint lights for glowing eyes under the hood. I think Liam is waving a dead glowstick that is supposed to be a light saber (although I don't know any Jawas who would even know what to do with a light saber...). Evan is a ninja army guy. Bronwyn is a fairy. I made the skirt and headband. Walmart made the wings. We weren't sure trick-or-treating was even going to happen this year thanks to Mother Nature. There was thunder, lightning, and a major downpour that quit just in time to allow about two decent hours of chilly doorbell ringing.

I filled Bronwyn's hair with braids and knots and loops. You can see the lovely weather through the windows. This is about 5:30 p.m.

The sparkly fairy from the front:

The material for Bronwyn's skirt are fabric remnants from BYU's ballroom costume closet (they had a sale years ago in which they sold off remnants and costumes. Couldn't afford costumes, but I bought fabric).

Nice costumes, I especially like Bronwyn's fairy costume.

Wow. You get into Halloween a lot more than I do. You're kids are lucky I guess. Mine went trick or treating with Dad and Uncle Quinn and cousins -- therefore it was great.
