Most years, our Halloween costumes are fairly elaborate. We have a very special lady who supplies us with costumes and makeup for the Halloween party. She works with several local theater companies in the area and designs most of the costumes herself.

This year, our fantastic "costume/makeup lady" is out of the country during our Halloween party and we've been left to our own creativity. When we were in Missouri this summer visiting the Fantastic Caverns, Josie spotted this bat hat and decided that she needed to be a bat for Halloween.

We're keeping it super simple this year.


Aside from black-feathered wings and the bat hat, the rest of the costume came straight from her closet.

Yes. She has the model pose down pretty well. She takes after her older sister (who is going to be a black cat this year). I happened to spot this hand-made layered ruffle skirt, matching top, and shawl at Goodwill for $7.

I'm just adding this glittered mask, along with some orange tights and fun jewelry.

Chris still needs costume ideas, so feel free to make suggestions!!
