Halloween 2025: The Costume!

Here’s a recap of our Halloween, including Mazen’s spirit walker costume.

Halloween 2025

I think it’s safe to say that Mazen stole the show this year with his costume! It’s inspired by something he saw on YouTube and also heavily influenced by this blog post tutorial.

Mazen has been building the costume for MONTHS – day by day after school.

Spirit Walker Materials

• Dry wall stilts (gifted)
• Crutches (gifted)
• White mask
• Ski mask (for underneath)
• Black foam – 3 sheets
• Creepy cloth – 2
• Black spray paint – 3 bottles (for foam and stilts)
• Black top sheet – 1
• Backpack filled with stuffed animals!
• Black thread and big needle
• Zip ties to secure the foam

Here’s what’s underneath:

He got so good with the stilts over time!

Sewing the foam

Spray painting + hot gluing the fabric on

Halloween was a hit!

Harry Potter

Harry had a great day at school for Book Character Day! I joined him for a little parent party that afternoon.

And then it was time for trick-or-treating!

I went out with Birch while Thomas stayed to pass out candy and supervise Mazen. We don’t get a ton of trick-or-treaters at our house, so eventually Thomas took over with Birch and I escorted Mazen down the block where he spooked more people.

Trampoline Party

The next day, on my dad’s birthday, we had Birch’s friend party at Get Air trampoline park (his #1 request this year). He had a blast with his friends!

And now we move into the holiday season!
