Halloween 2015

This year, the kids decided they wanted to do their own pumpkins, which was fine by me, as the suggestions that were put forward when I asked what they wanted got particularly outlandish So, by doing them themselves, we get back to a more traditional face carving on our pumpkins.

Here below is the original design for the cat pumpkin, as you can see, the final work is quite faithful to the original draft!

This years costumes were started way in advance. The original plan was to have an Astrid, and a Stormfly. For various reasons, not least the sturdiness of the Stormfly costume, and our doubts as to it lasting a day at daycare, we ended up with two Astrid costumes on the workbench.

As a bonus, Abi  didn't want the rabbit to be left out of the costume event, so thought we should make him little wings, so he could be Toothless. Of course, with a plan as complete, and as cute as that, how could we possibly not! Of course, he could also be a bat!
