Begging for Candy

Halloween. I have fond memories of trick or treating when I was younger. I liked the candy really. Dressing up was all right, but really I was in it for the candy. We took Odin out this year, more for the experience than anything. He will eat some candy, yes, but not heaps and heaps (like I used to do). Way back in September we saw a branded "thomas" train costume at a store and thought it looked a bit sad and way over priced. Odin was smitten, so we decided to make one instead. I thought Paper Mache would be a nice way for him to help make a train costume. He helped with the Paper Mache a little, and did a lot of the painting. It would up being a tad heavy, but he got into the spirit and had a great time. We went out with our neighbors and their two boys. I think it was the stuff great memories are made of, but only time will tell!

little note here, wheat flour makes terrible paper mache.. White flour is the way to go.
