Halloween costume craziness

Each year we put together a family costume and this year is no different! We decided to go as characters from The Nightmare Before Christmas and we were all super excited about how they turned out. I only had to make one costume which was my youngest sons costume because I was unable to find a gray skeleton outfit. So, I bought a gray sweatsuit and made bones out of sticky felt. It was easy peasy! Other than donning our costumes we only had to do a little face painting to bring the idea to fruition. The coolest thing about the kids costumes was that they were double! The characters have spooky faces but also wear masks for their costumes so my kids had masks but underneath also had spooky facepaint. It worked out great!

At work we had a costume contest and since I still work with a bunch of educators we went all in! I proposed the idea of going as the solar system because we had the perfect number. In addition to the solar system we also went as the Roman gods that each planet was named for! We were excited to win the best team costume and best space themed costume so our hard work was definitely rewarded with bragging rights.
The planets were rescued from the trash of our warehouse cleanout and everyone put together their own costume. I was lucky enough to find the perfect dress at Goodwill and then added some fun makeup and a trident because I was Neptune which is named after the Roman god of water.
