It had been kind of drizzly and crummy most of the day, but the time it was trick or treating time, it was raining, almost cold enough to be freezing rain, so instead of going to the Dunahee's to trick or treat in Irvington, we went to the Little Flower Halloween Bash, which is all indoors and would put us home earlier.
Here are the costumes. Can you guess who they are, before characters are revealed below?

So did you guess right? Graigry is Emmett from the Lego Movie which came out this year. Neta is Tiger Lily from Peter Pan. If you didn't get Mater, then you're not up to date with Disney Pixar. His costume took me all day to cut, tape, and glue 5 different boxes together and then paint and let the big and small pieces dry. Xela did the teeth and hook. We used straps that went over his shoulder so he didn't have to carry it the whole time.
It was a little humorous when Graigry and Nate, after getting a plate of chips and a hot dog in the Little Flower cafeteria, tried to sit and eat their food at the table. Graigry's box came up past his lips and, well, there was no easy way for Nate to sit at the table and stay in costume. To help you with a little perspective as to his size, Mater took up its own seat in the van as we went to and from Little Flower.
We got to the bash around six and were done just after seven. It was a little weird, but nice, being home so early on Halloween night. I was a little frustrated or annoyed that I spent all day on a costume that was only worn for an hour. But then, Nate said he wanted to be Mater and I wanted to make that happen for him. Currently, Mater is in the garage, awaiting someone else's need for a costume. I might strongly encourage Nate or Neta to wear him next year. Maybe I'll fit him if they won't. Guess we wait and see what happens next year!
