Lucky us, we had 3 opportunities to dress up and beg for candy this year. In our neighborhood last weekend, then at church during the week, then at a party on Halloween. We had a good time, but I'm glad it's over. Now we've just got to eat all the candy.....
Last year after Halloween I thought I was being so practical in buying a few costumes on clearance for the kids to use this year. I got Batman, Transformers, Incredible Hulk, basically all the cool superheroes. But a year changes a lot of things and this year the boys are all about Star Wars and wouldn't be caught dead in a lame Superman costume. Why can't I ever get it right?
This clone trooper is pretty serious about his job....
(Connor's costume from last year......) Isn't she cute :)
After Kate wore the dragon costume, Keith mentioned that she would be a great princess Leia so I was on it. I went to 5 Halloween stores looking for a costume and everything was either too big and/or way too expensive. So I managed to pull together an outfit but needed a wig. In the end Youtube saved the day - I watched a video demostrating how to make a Leia wig out of a towel. And it worked fabulously. And Kate was so ADORABLE wearing it. And her entire costume was less than $10. I love that!
Love the buns!

Those are adorable Leia buns! I bet she could have wore ear muffs too. Very cute. It's so fun to dress the kids up for Halloween!
LOVE the family theme (we do one every year, I think Starwars is next!) And Kate looks SO cute, good job!
