Halloween Special

Ah Halloween! And how we love it. It's not just the sugar high, it's the dressing up that gets our creative juices flowing. And with Phin taking after his Star Wars crazed parents with his obsession with all things Darth, we decided to follow suit and go en masse in tribute to our childhood Heroes.
I dug out an old dress of my grandmothers, my Vivienne Westwood pirate boots (a fave in my twenties) and purchased a Leia wig and a trusty swim woggle transformed into a light sabre. . Tom morphed into Luke Skywalker in x-wing fighter pilot mode (I love him in orange), Phin was lucky enough to get yet another outfit (he already owns Darth and Yoda) and came as a storm trooper plus water pistol with his best pal Samuel coming as the dark Lord. Alice became C3PO with the help of American Apparel's gold leggings and a black marker pen, Billy was a Java and Mini stole the show with our home made creation of R2D2. Two lamp shades, a bin lid and lots and lots of electrical tape made it all possible. Mini could barely walk and climbing steps was nigh impossible but she kept it on a evening spurred on by the lure of more sweets. And she was mightily rewarded. What a night.
