Here he is, my debonair vampire. Kind of ironic though, he doesn't even know what a vampire is. This costume was chosen more for what it wasn't then what it was. The requirements? The costume could not have a hat of any kind, nor could it be difficult to walk/move in. That rules out a lot of costumes. It was either this or a Hershey kiss sans the hat, and I could tell dh wasn't crazy about the second idea. I absolutely love his pose here, again, even funnier since he doesn't know what a vampire is. This was one of only 3 photos I got before the party and the rain last weekend. I hope to get some more today. I did the photo extraction technique again, so great for dramatic Halloween photos.
Honestly, I'm not sure how long J will last tonight. His bed time is between 7-7:30pm, so right about the time he should be getting ready for his bedtime routine, I'm going to put him in a costume and he and I will go roam the neighborhood. Since it's Friday, things could get started even later, and it is going to be cold here. It's really cold this morning. I have a feeling a major public meltdown could be in my future. Even if we go to one house, it's still better than last year. At 11 mons last year, we didn't even make it out of the house in a pumpkin costume. To be honest, I really don't care if we just turn around and go right back in the house. He wore the costume at the party, so I feel like I got my $20 worth. So, I'm keeping an open mind but when he is done I won't be pushing it.
Can you believe the start of the holiday season is upon us? I can't. Here's the latest with Cosmo's Oh Joy! (Love, love, love Oh Joy.)

I've got a December birthday to prepare for. Off to research fire truck birthday themes. If you want a great price on some Oh Joy, go to A Million Little Things. They have paper packs (just one sheet of each paper in the line plus the strip and the journaling cards, no diecuts though) for around $6. I haven't seen a better deal.

My niece had similar requirements in regard to her costume. No hat, no wig, nothing itchy. She is going as herself. :o) I am hoping you encounter no public breakdowns. Have a blast!
