Halloween 2011




This year, by divine intervention, I decided to go simple on costumes. I usually start planning costumes around August. This August I decided to go simple and in September, I had my appendix out. I am glad I took it easy.
My main shopping this year was to the local second hand store where I picked up a set of red and white striped baseball sheets for $6. This and several yards of black fabric with a 50% off coupon at JoAnn's was my fabric for pirate costumes. Awesome!
We had all kinds of fun with it. We have a group of friends that with which we do history together and they came over for a Halloween party. We were studying Columbus, so we were the pirates who destroyed Columbus' ship the first voyage out. This event left Columbus to swim to the shores of Spain floating on an oar. Rrrr!
