For the past couple of years, my youngest daughter has had to have two different costumes for Halloween. I do not know how this happened, but somehow she has been obsessed with being something scary and bloody. Of course, her elementary school doesn’t allow bloody costumes, so she decides on one safe costume for the school parade, and then makes herself all gory for trick-or-treating.
She has been spending weeks practicing her bloody scar makeup to get it realistic, and she cut up a shirt and painted it with “blood.”
The school costume, however, does not receive as much preparation. Two nights before Halloween, she was going to wear a smock and make a palette and be an artist for the Halloween parade. The night before Halloween, she decided to be a black cat. She found a big, fat pipe cleaner to be her tail, dressed all in black, and the next morning had me make her hair into two buns to be her ears.
As soon as she got home from school, with a little school glue, makeup and fake blood, she transformed into something else….
One of the other moms in our trick-or-treating group even asked me if she really hurt herself!
Fortunately, her wounds washed off later that night!

That’s awesome, she’s like day-to-night Barbie. Make a few tweaks and suddenly she’s ready for a zombie apocalypse.
She’s very cute! School can be such a drag… geez, no blood and gore?
They look great! Hope they had a fun time.
Even though Halloween has now taken hold in Norway, we didn’t get any visitors. Apparently when you don’t dress the house, nobody comes knocking. Besides, even though we are in the middle of houses and such, we are a bit out of the way.
Your daughter looks great, especially the gory version.
Your daughters are so pretty!
