a long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away...
There seems to be two constants in my sons life: legos and Star Wars. Other toys come and go, but he always returns to those two. So I wasn't totally shocked when C told me he wanted to be Luke Skywalker for Halloween.
We always try to make our costumes from stuff around the house. And if we do need to buy something, I try to make it something that will go in our dress up box after Halloween. The boot covers gave me a little trouble, but all in all, this was a pretty easy costume. We borrowed a karate shirt from a friend (a few sizes too big so it hangs down like Luke's), grabbed some tan cords we already had, and made some boot covers and a belt out of some tan felt.
The poses C came up with are awesome, I think he's been practicing these for a while.
My daughter Bee had specific instructions for her costume. "Princess Leia, but not when she's wearing a dress... like when she's a fighter." I can't recall Princess Leia actually wearing this outfit, but Bee thought it was perfect.
We found some cream colored long underwear for $8 at Target, we made a cape out of some cream fleece and boot covers from brown felt, and I happened to have a white yoga belt that we wrapped around her a few times. We put her hair in buns, and handed her a Nerf gun.
Baby M joined the group as Yoda, wisest of the Jedi's. We already had a light green onesie and pants, and a brown wooly cardigan. I cut some ears out of green felt and sewed them to a light green pilots cap (a hand me down from Bee). I wish I had a photo I could show you.. the serious little faces Baby M makes were perfect for a wise Jedi master.
Just your average brother and sister team taking on the Empire. Happy Halloween!

star wars never gets old. hehe
Great job, Brooke! I'm so happy you post your kids' costumes, so I can copy them! My babe was an owl this year, and I used your photos YET AGAIN for inspiration! Thank you!
Oh my! Way too adorable!! Sooo cute!!
Ahaahhaaaaaa!!!! Oh my god, just DIVINE!!!!!!! And the plaited buns.... love it. x
I know I'm late on this one, but I think B looks a lot like Leia in the Empire Strikes Back movie. She wears a vest, but otherwise it's super similar. That was what I immediately thought when I saw it and then confirmed it with a quick internet search. Excellent job on the costumes. I love how "doable" you make everything. Approachable is an amazing thing with crafts and costumes, etc!
I just love these ideas! So cute!! I featured you in a couple posts: All Things With Purpose: DIY Princess Leia
and
All Things With Purpose: DIY Luke Skywalker
Love the boot covers. Did you use a pattern? Do you have any tips for making them?
This is awesome! My boys want to be Jedis for Halloween and I love to do family costumes so I love this idea for Leia! The boot covers; great idea! Do you have a template for that?

So, if you value their presence, treat them like a human being with feelings and be careful even a little bit you don't have to do all the valentiney stuff. It's feeling that matters the most.
However, if you do value them and also give them a little bit of a surprise (outings/shopping/gifts) it would always be like cherry on the cake!
