My Children were resourceful at putting together their own costumes again this year.  Most of their pieces came out of the costume/dress-up box in the attic with the exception of Tristan who didn’t like his choices apparently.  He gathered his personal spending money and bought himself a mask and a set of teeth from “The Pumpkin Patch” at school for a total of $1.50 and was happy.  The clown costume on Nathan is one that I made in 1998 when Haley was a year old and it’s been worn for 9 Halloweens full of parties and trick-or-treating since then; fitting each child when they have been 1 and 2 years old.  I chose the clown costume originally because my grandma had made me a red and white striped flannel clown costume with wonderful homemade red pom-poms down the front when I was about that age.  I’m sure somebody must have a picture of that somewhere but I remember seeing that costume for many years after that on my siblings so I have fond memories of little clowns at Halloween.  I have loved putting a new version of this costume on my own five little clowns.  

Happy Halloween time!
