What are you going to be for Hallowe'en? This year Alex is dressing up as Rocky Balboa. I'll be tagging along as Mickey Goldmill. (It was a toss up between him and Mr. T. Tough call, I know.) Her costume is made up of a hodge-podge of Value Village paraphernalia and home made items (i.e. the championship belt).
This is an especially exciting year because Alex may actually get what's going on. Even though she didn't quite understand it in the past, she was not left out of the festivities. Here are a few pictures from Hallowe'en of yesteryear. The first costume, circa 2009, was at the tender age of nine months. The second, taken the following year, she was one of her favourite Sesame Street characters.
I've always loved Hallowe'en. The opportunity to look absolutely ridiculous while showing off your creativity. My favourite costume was the one I wore in grade four. I was Anne of Boleyn. My mom sewed me a long gown and attached a high cardboard collar so that no one could see my head. I carried around a mannequin's head, that somewhat resembled mine, in my arms all day.
What was your favourite costume?
I dressed up as an school marm one year and spent the entire night pinching people's cheeks.
