Awesome, Monster.

That sting ray is seriously cool! I am impatiently tapping my toe for pictures of the other two...

Me too!

Monster you are very creative and talented! Im pretty envious, I cant even stitch a straight line on my sewing machine.

so, Daughter No. 2 just called to wish me a blessed samhein. She said that after my death, she'll take my skull, stick a candle in it, and use it as a centerpiece!

. . . is that even sanitary?

How is she going to get your skull in the first place? who does she ask for it?

I think she's gonna bury me in her backyard. Hopefully she'll wait until the appropriate moment and not jump the gun. so to speak.

Just saw the stingray...that is great! :)

agreed. stingray is greatness. hooray for homemade costumes!

Make sure she knows that's illegal before she invites all the neighbors over for the interment.

Ist?
It's legal here, if you own the land. You might need planning permission to erect a memorial, and it might devalue the land for future sale, but you can plant a parent as long as it's not a health risk (runoff water etc)

ok. The puppy has a costume now. She's going to be an angel doggy. For once! Ha Haaa! And there will be photos. Sorry folks!:D

Awesome job monstah!!

My kid is going as $leeping Beauty again this year, because of what we spent on the outfit at Disneyworld last year. Good thing she still likes the costume :D.

I think the stingray costume should have little silhouettes of steve irwin the same way bomber and fighter planes have their kills marked.

The inch wants to go as Darth VAder despite having never seen star wars and having only heard of Mr. Vader from the older siblings of his pals. He saw a costume in the 2nd hand shop and had to have it. He's been wearing it since he woke up this am.

I taught him to say "You have failed me for the last time." as a response to receiving candy. We found a fan site which ahd mp3 clips of the audio so he knows the whole inflection now.

Candy into bag.
Look into bag and back up at candy giver
"You have failed me for the last time."
Should be choice.

Oh there they are. LOL! I love the stingray!! Monster is such a pro at this.

She was baiting me by telling me the materials. I just couldn't put it all together!!

LOL! That stingray is awesome. She has outdone herself once again!

Awwww, I wish I was your neighbor so I could see that! Can you get a video of it?
