Halloween 2009

I both love and hate making Halloween costumes for the children. This year was especially tricky because I started on Julius' costume a full month prior to Halloween not realizing how much he'd grow during that time.
He grew and the fabric glue I used to adhere the strips of cloth to his shirt and pants caused the fabric underneath to pucker and tighten. He was initially suppose to be a mummy but when we were unable to squeeze him into the costume we went with plan b--ZOMBIE BABY!


This is what the Zombie Apocalypse will look like.


BRAAAAAINNSSS, that way.


I love how angelic his eyes look despite the fake blood and make up.

We went trick or treating for a good hour and Julius held up quite well. He wasn't too keen on keeping the candy in his bucket and wanted to eat every piece immediately but hey, doesn't everyone?
