When I think Halloween I think candy. Maybe it's the joy of remembering a childhood filled with make believe costumes, running from house to house, and most of all the sugar high that I had as a kid that made Halloween my favorite part of Fall. This year I was determined that my two rug rats were going to experience the joy of Halloween. From great costumes to trick-or-treat. They would enjoy the time.
What I didn't realize was how much I chewed off. You might be asking yourself what she saying. You get a costume, a bag, and run crazy right? Yes that's what you do. Only for me a cheap store bought costume wasn't going to cut it. My son and daughter deserved quality. So off I went to the fabric store to get material for them. Boy did that start my headache.
At the store I couldn't find a single costume pattern to satisfy my kids taste or mine. So I resolved to make my own. For my son, a star wars outfit that any Jedi would love. For my daughter, a trick-or-treat fairy made of candy/halloween prints. After trial an error and many many hours my kids and I were satisfied.
Today they wore there homemade costumes at the churches Trunk-or-treat. They had a blast. Hit a huge sugar high. And overall made a memory of a great Halloween. The hours spent was so worth their joy.
