It was quite the struggle deciding what we'd be. I wanted to be a Disney princess, but Bailey didn't think that being a prince would be "cool" enough. We almost went with Mulan and Mushu (because somehow Mushu made it onto the "cool" list), but got little confused about how to make a Mushu costume.
Eventually we came up with the winning idea. Chihiro and No Face from Spirited Away! Spirited Away is a popular Japanese film. It is very mystical, mysterious, and honestly pretty eerie. I love it! If you haven't seen it, I recommend it.
I sewed my costume from some polyester I already had, so my costume was really cheap. Seiji helped Bailey make his mask out of foam, and then Bailey painted it and I attached the black sheet. Super easy and cheap! I think that our costumes turned out pretty alright!
It was a Ghibli sort of Halloween! Seiji made a knight costume to wear to school, which was unrelated (but super cool!) but Kylie and Warden were Satsuki and Totoro! The pictures I snapped of Warden are pretty much my favorite pictures ever.
Today my dad and I visited my mom's class. Isn't her costume awesome? Also, I can't believe that I convinced my dad to wear a Halloween costume haha! We also visited Seiji in his classroom with Kylie and Totoro. When everyone got off work, we had a chili eating and Ichabod watching party complete with peach pie, sherbet in Sprite, and pumpkin cookies. We had so much fun spending the evening together. I don't think I've ever had a better Halloween!
