Monster - I'm just happy when you post pics of your kids - they ae the children I wanted to be when I was growing up! (
shame they'll sound like septics though 
) Fantastic costumes! I'd love a US version of Halloween too - few and far between are the occasions where it's not suspect to take fancy dress (costume? Whatever the translation is) in Britain. I have my next one sorted - just need the party. Am going to be a girl from the make-up counter in Boots. You can get a white coat quite cheaply. Then I just put on orange foundation and tarantula lashes etc.
Cicero - don't sell yourself short! Blimey, those masks are fantastic. And I know *a little* about Day of the Dead from when my ex and I were planning a trip to Mexico. I bought a couple of weighty guidebooks which outlived the relationship...
Razz - you cutie!
