All The Dressing Up - 2021

Seeing that it is nearly Christmas its about time to chat about Halloween... 


We have: The Hulk, The Wicked Witch, H who was too happy in her carseat to put on the pumpkin get-up, a ballerina, a vampire? - maybe, Yoda, St Monica

There happens to be a whole lot of back story to the costumes this year... Sometime in July the bigs were in a bit of a bind because they were supposed to clean up the playroom and they didn't so Lee and I took everything and bagged and boxed it up and told them they had to sort through EVERYTHING before it was put back into the playroom. Trash to the dump. Toys to the playroom. Well it turns out there was only supposed to be one bag of trash and the other black trash bag had ALL the costumes in it. EVERYTHING. Star Wars, Wizard of Oz, saints - everything. It is enrages me to even type it. So I told them they had to buy their costumes this year because I wasn't. I think I would have if there was a theme but some people are too cool for that so they shelled out money and reused what didn't get tossed. 

St Lucy, St Olga, St Monica, St Michael

We got over the not-so-late-night Halloween and put on our game faces for All Saints Day - I think I told Lee he HAS to block off All Saints Day morning to be at the house until we leave because most Catholic school parents will say it is one of the tougher mornings to have costumes the night before and then the next morning!

A was all about St Michael - and has since decided that Kindergarten is angels in the Christmas program that he needs his St. Michael costume for the Christmas play


R's costume required the most hands on work and she made her crown of lights which I think came out great!


E repurposed her royal costume from last year when she got wind of the costume punishment decree so she found another queen saint. 


I've hoarded the costumes in my room so as to help people save their pennies next year.

  1. Oh - too bad about the garbage bag of costumes! When moving once, I had my entire storage container supply thrown away to to overzealous cleaning by my dad. Also, my dad once threw away a paper bag he found in the attic - it was my mom's wedding dress!?!
