Weise's World

Happy Halloween everyone!! I hope all the little ghost, goblins, ghouls, zombies and superheros had a great time!

As for my "Zombie" he decided to stay home to hand out candy and he said he really enjoyed doing that!! He got to see all sorts of people in their costumes and a lot of friends stopped by so they got to visit a bit, etc... We closed the door 15 minutes early as he asked to head over to knock on a friends door, we did that and I surprised him and went to another house or two of some his good friends close to home! He really had a good time.

Now for his costume - I was told I would be in trouble if I didn't post these pictures TONIGHT (no, Christian didn't say that :) )

When talking about a costume he didn't want to buy a full costume, he just wanted to be a zombie and nothing else ever came up. We made a trip to Spirit Halloween and looked at all sorts of Zombie stuff and he settled on a Zipper faced Zombie! Now, what's a zipper faced zombie --- let me show you:

First, you apply the zipper with spirit gum:
  

Then you work on the make-up, starting a coating of blood, add more blood and add some skin discoloration to his face: 
   

Some more touch-ups and here's the final product... It looked great. Probably could fill in a bit more with the make-up. but overall it looked great and he got A LOT of comments. Everyone loved it and so many kids (including some of his friends) were trying to figure out how we did it!

  

Of course, heading up to Halloween we did get some pumpkin carvings done with a friend:
     


Everything was great --- Happy Halloween all!!
