I think I got the worst Halloween costume pictures of all time this year. Bummer.
But, here is how it went down, in case you were wondering....
 |
| Dal was a bat with wings courtesy of a (now dead) umbrella. They looked good, but he found that having such a big wingspan was prohibitive when reaching into candy bowls at the neighbors' houses. He still managed a sugary haul, so I guess it is all good. Oh, and he was a little disgruntled that the wings didn't actually provide flight. |
 |
| Kate's {simple} request to be a mermaid proved a bit challenging to this mom who refused to create flesh colored anything and doesn't believe in shells for shirts. Plus, my sewing skills are pretty minimal. Luckily, she was thrilled with this funny tulle and sparkle fin and even agreed to wear long sleeves. |

| Have a 2-year-old at Halloween is so fun! Love this little kitty! |

| Having a picky 3-year-old is NOT so much fun at Halloween. Davis had a cute scrubs set, courtesy of Gram, and I cut down one of Chad's old lab coats (he is holding it in his hand), but he refused to wear ANY of it. Except the stethoscope (his adoration of which provided the inspiration for the costume in the first place). Ah, well, maybe next year. |
