We don’t go all out for Halloween, but the kids do love dressing up and having some fun. Ben wanted to be a mummy this year (for some reason he’s big into Scooby Doo and the scary monsters even though I think he’s seen like 5 minutes of one episode). Lucky for us a friend had a homemade mummy costume she let us have since her kids outgrew it.

I’ve tried to pair the kids’ costumes (while I still can). Their first year Ben was a sheep and Cassidy, Little Bo Peep. The following year we had Mike Wazowski and Sully. This year to keep with the matching theme, Cassidy was a werewolf, another monster. I just found some of Ben’s old clothes and she got to wear the wolf hat they’d been gifted last year. Hooray for free costumes!

The kids got to dress up for the library program, Ben has a school party, there’s a little harvest party at the Y and then we’ll visit the neighbors on Saturday night. So they’ll get a lot of mileage out of the costumes this year. All in good fun :)
