a homemade halloween
I was asking my son C last night as I tucked him into bed which holiday is better: Christmas or Halloween? Such a tough choice for a kid. Halloween was always second to Christmas in my book, but not by much.
Now that I have children of my own, I love coming up with their costumes each year. Like my mom did when I was little, I try to find things we already have around the house that can be transformed into costumes. Or if we do buy something, I try to make it something we can use after Halloween. Here are a few of our costumes over the years.
2004: tiny blazer + red ribbon shaped into a bow tie + doll wig = ventriloquist dummy
2005: C: long sleeved onesie + white tights + white bonnet + felt wings = Hedwig the owl
Dad: black graduation robe (he'd just gotten his master's degree) + Hogwarts sticker = Harry Potter
2006: C: brown long sleeved pajamas + brown hat + brown sock tail = Curious George
Bee: white long sleeved onsesie + yellow felt + Chiquita sticker = banana
Dad: yellow shirt + yellow pants + very tall yellow hat = the man in the yellow hat
2007: C: green long sleeved pajamas + green felt hat = Peter Pan
Bee: borrowed costume + homemade wings = Tinkerbell
Dad: red velvet pants + white ruffled shirt + long coat + black wig = Captain Hook
2008: Bee: denim skirt + blue shirt + white tights + cape = Super Bee
C: blue pants + red shirt + cape = Super C
We'll share 2009's costumes tomorrow! We've got too much going on today between cookie decorating, pumpkin carving, soccer games, and trick-or-treating with the cousins. Happy Halloween!
