Halloween Countdown #3
Halloween Haikus:
After that family night, we sent our haiku creations to the "not living at home" siblings and had them choose their favorites. For the next week we'll do a real countdown leading up to the family favorite on Halloween. Here are a few of the "practice" ones that didn't receive as many votes. Feel free to add your own poems to the comments!
Costume Idea: Capes
Over the years we've made several capes for costumes, so I was kind of disappointed I had to sew two new ones this year! We had one with red lining, but there is a difference between a vampire cloak and a super hero cape.
That cape was lined and had a collar, but all of the rest of our capes were quite simple. This green one was just a serged square of cloth with a button and button hole carefully positioned. The first year it debuted as some sort of monster.
And the next year it adorned a friendly pirate.
Instead of a button and button hole, our blue cape has a couple of ties in that same position. Here's our green pirate's buddy, the blue pirate!
We also have a plain black cape. One year it completed a Darth Vader costume.
The wonderful thing about a cape is you don't need anything else to create a Halloween costume, although brandishing a light saber in addition to the cape can't hurt!

Halloween Haiku #2
Laughter
in the night
Getting
candy; no true fright
What a
joyful sight
Halloween Haiku #5
Spookiness
at night
Getting
candy with much fright
Fleeing
out of sight
Halloween Haiku #17
Oh, what
a delight!
How I
love Halloween night!
Though
it is a fright!
Halloween Haiku #54
Down the
road walking,
To each
door knock, knock, knocking.
“Trick-or-treat!”
“Thank you!”

Several years later it was the perfect magician's cape.
Pinterest Idea: Cupcake Ideas
Just drizzle white icing on your cupcake and add some candy eyes. That's pretty simple, and cute, too!
Happy Halloween!
