This is actually my favorite part of Halloween, because I get to see all the cute costumes. And smile at the cute kids. Usually, though, Doug refuses to take out the kids. Instead, he stays home and refuses to open the door and give out candy. Rude, huh?
Anyway, Halloween has brought some serious issues to our house. Namely, What Shall I Wear? This crisis has come to several of the kids. Sophia had a great queen outfit, which she wore to a party last week.
But she would rather be Mariposa, the butterfly fairy. This was Malena's costume a few years ago, so all Sophie had to do was rescue it from the costume boxes.

Jack and Collin both wanted to be ninjas and showcase their newly-acquired karate moves. Last night, though, Collin decided to be a wizard. Problem: no wizard costume. After many words were exchanged, he decided to go with the ninja outfit after all.
Meanwhile, Jack found his Spiderman outfit in the costume box. He asked if he could wear it, and was surprised when I said yes. Honestly, if we already own it, why not?

The older girls have thankfully kept with their original costume ideas. I made Malena's pioneer costume:
And Bonnie just bought her witch's costume. I think this is at least her fourth time being a witch. Hopefully, she doesn't really identify with the character...although, she is a teenager.

Bonnie's hair is getting so long! Thanks for the costume pictures, so cute!
ReplyDeleteThey all look so adorable!! I love both of Sophie's outfits. And as I recall, I went as a witch many a time (it's my go-to outfit when I don't have anything else to wear). Hope you all had a safe and happy Halloween!
