Home, Garden and Lifestyle

All of the smart shoppers get their Halloween costumes early and are well thought out. On this website that we found they have everything you could possibly want and more. Everything from hippy Halloween costumes to Adult 70s to hippy afro costumes. There are also the witches and movies characters for children and adults. It is nice to not have to go from one place to another putting costumes together. It is all here.
Every year as Halloween comes along we go through the same thing to get started on our daughters costumes they change from good characters to evil ones depending on the mood of teens. As we all know we need to have one of each to see which way they go that day. Fortunately they make as many costumes as there are teen mood swings. Well that can not be said about out son. He knew and has always has known that he wanted to be a Star Wars character and he has always known which one as well. He thinks that the Storm Troopers costumes have the coolest look. He has many characters in the movie that are his favorite but that look just got him. Well we finally did it and got him his costume. He was so thrilled. It was bought early so that he could hang it on his door and stare at it for a while before tha grand event. I have to admit we had seen many Darth Vaders through our trick or treating but no Storm Troopers. That may have been part of the appeal that he would be the only trooper. Well the event was finally here and the beloved costume came off the door and at last he became the Storm Trooper that he had dreamed of. His sisters of course were witches that day although we had fairy costumes just in case there was a shift in their thoughts but no we went with witches. He was ready and as we headed to the door the doorbell rang and he said,” I will get it and they can be the first to see my new outfit,” The door swung open and I could see by the way the candy bowl swung down that he was shocked. I made my way around and was stunned to see more Storm Troopers than were cast on the Star Wars movies. They had all gotten together and decided that it would be cool to be the entire fleet. At first I sensed the disappointment in my son but when we suggested that we all go together and he could join the fleet suddenly we made fourteen new friends. That has got to be a best Halloween yet.
