Halloween

Trace chose to be a skeleton! Luckily I'd made this for Cole years ago.
Talmage is Aries, the God of War. You know he loves Greek Mythology, right?
  
Cole was a ghoul, because his Mom was too cheap to make him a new skeleton costume.
Jack is an Irish Warrior. We had to google reenactors for this one. They wore animal skins and plaid, or went naked with blue face paint. We chose the clothed version. He's wearing a "coonskin" hat under his helmet with the tail tucked in!


Here are the boys at their school parade.





Tal's best friend, Isabella, went as Demeter. They share a love of mythology.  Her mother is a clothing designer.
I talked to the mom who made this from scratch. It's paper mache on the head, an elaborate cage and strap system to attach it to the head, all covered in feather boas!

So great! My girls and your boys would have looked so masculine/feminine/complimentary together. I love them all and jack's is my favorite. :)

Goul is scary enough without bare bones! And terrifying Irish warrior, and Mars! I'm glad he has a gentle friend in Demeter. Basic Trace is quite a case. Also loved the parade. Many thanks.

Ha - Jack looks awesome! I can't believe that Big Bird. And how neat that Trace wanted to be a skeleton and you happened to have a costume made. I just started our costume collection - hope it comes in handy like that in future years. Your boys are such boys. Love it.

I love your Halloween costumes! I haven't checked blogs in so long, I love it when I can go back through and enjoy several posts. Your hikes look like fun!
