Halloween "Under the Sea"


Our family tradition is to dress up every year as a "theme" so this year Marissa got to choose what she wanted to be (which was Ariel from "The Little Mermaid") so Kelea wanted to be Sebastian the Crab, Liana was Flounder the fish, I was Ursula the Sea Witch and Sean was King Triton. I don't know how to sew but was able to make all these costumes using office supplies (staples, adhesive, pins, etc.) Don't look too closely at the pictures, you'll see the costumes are just barely holding together. Next year I'm going to choose a costume that doesn't have tentacles (very difficult to make and walk with). :) But our girls had fun trick or treating as a family all dressed up. Halloween on base here is always a huge affair because in Japan people don't pass out candy so the base opens up to the Japanese kids for trick or treating and it's a massive amount of kids. We went through 12 bags of candy and by 6:30 were out. It's so fun to see little Japanese kids who are trick or treating for the first time and their excitement!
