We can not believe what they charge for Halloween costumes ($40+), so for fun and to keep it simple, we let the kids make their own this year... they wanted to be mummies. They looked a little better earlier in the night when my wife had put dark makeup around their eyes, but that was a mistake as they rubbed it into their eyes right away, complaining that it was itchy...
(if you look closely, even their favorite stuffed animals are wrapped up
)
