Praying Mantis that is.
That's what Austin wanted to be for Halloween.
Evidently he is the only child that has wanted to be a praying mantis as there is not a high enough demand that a praying mantis costume actually exists. Nor a pattern. So we went to the pumpkin patch for the first time in Austin's life to select a pumpkin.
Dad got "his size" - a big one we carved.
And Austin got "his own size" a small one we decorated.
The child care group had a Halloween party and made haunted houses.
They ate most of the candy instead of putting it on the house...
Then we got busy making Austin's Praying Mantis costume.
He had a lot of fun helping.
This is the top.
This is the front.
I didn't get a photo of the back before the wings fell off.
We went around the block with our good friends and had a great although chilling time.
