100 Yen Halloween

Last week I made a trip to one of the 100 Yen stores nearby and found a bunch of fun Halloween stuff. I have a plastic bin full of dress up clothes for the kids and I'm always on the lookout for new things to add, especially if they are cheap. Here are some of our finds.
Here's Matthew all decked out as a pirate complete with eye patch, sword, hook, pirate vest and hat. He loved being a pirate - we told him to say "ARRR matey!" and he kept asking us what a "matey" was. Also it took all his self control not to hit everyone with his new sword, but somehow he managed to be good. Well done Matthew!

I love this hat! Maybe I'll wear it for Halloween!

Anna with a kitty hat and a little cape.

And happy in the pumpkin hat!

Here's Anna with the ninja mask on. She didn't like this one too much.

Here we all try on the animal hats - I'm wearing the monkey one, Matthew is the frog and Anna is the duck, although she kept pulling it down over her face.

Now I've got the pumpkin hat. Anna and Matthew both wanted this trident (which I think was supposed to be a pitchfork). They wanted it 'cause King Triton has one. We recently got Disney's The Little Mermaid golden book and they want to hear it (that and Snow White and Pinocchio) every chance they get.
We had fun with our 100 Yen store finds, and everything we got was 100 Yen - about a dollar. I'll miss those stores when we go back to the states!
