Something wicked this way comes...

Ahhh Halloween! One of my favorite holidays. Merril and I decided to dress up as The Blues Brothers for a Halloween party. Here's the original:



Here's us:


The crowd was kind of young and only a couple of people understood that we were the Blues Brothers and not Men in Black.

The kids were all themed from Peter Pan. Maxine was Peter Pan. Jack was the crocodile from Peter Pan.

Juliet was TinkerBell.


I made the costumes so they have that homey, unfinished quality about them. Jack's hat and Juliet's tutu were fun to make.

Can you believe Thanksgiving is right around the corner? Maxine's birthday is this week so I have to start thinking about what we're going to do for it. Yikes. I kind of loathe birthday parties for my kids! Mostly because I'm sure how to entertain kids for that long.

Great costumes. I wish I was that creative to make costumes. I had big plans and was going to make some but ended up with a time crunch and ust bought them. Joey wouldn't even wear his. Hilarios that the younger crowd thought you were Men in Black. Will Smith didn't have the awesome side burns.
