Today, it's all about Halloween costume shopping! We have accumulated so many costumes from Obama face, Scream outfit, Jig Saw Killer to scary witches and monsters but we can never have too many costumes in this house. This is my favorite holiday as we all get the chance to be a 5 - year old kid again!
So cool..they have new scary gadgets where blood-like mixture will ooze out of the head, crawling hands, wide eyed zombies and scary mice --Hmm..so tempted to splurge on new paraphernalia but --Nope-- I am only getting a costume and I am outta here!
I love this flying nun . . .I wonder if she screams too - -looks autistic to me...
So many new masks! Hmmmm..why are the teen costumes on my right looks "slutty"?
Anyway, we didn't find anything for our cat but here's what we ended up with : G3 opted to Go-Bananas....
and twins went for Sinister Clowns...
