Halloween 2010

I am a sucker for family costume themes. I have to have my kids in costumes where there is a theme (even if it is a stretch, like a couple of years ago when we had Optimus Prime, Bumble Bee (the transformer) and a bumble bee (the bug)).

This year we went for a Super Mario Brothers theme.


We had Luigi:



 Mario:



Yoshi:


and Baby Princess Peach:


It was so fun to make all of the costumes. I have not spent that much time making costumes since Ned was little. Ironically we did not have as many parties to go to as we usually do. We did, however, go to a parade yesterday morning, and the mall where El Guapo works for Trick-or-Treating last night. It was so fun to watch people see Ned and Dusty, who were obviously the Mario Brothers, and then watch them realize that Lucky and Buttercup were Mario Bros characters too. There were some great reactions. 

I think the boys all loved their costumes. They all asked to put them on again today (our town celebrated last night).


Happy Halloween!

You did such a great job on the costumes! What a lot of work. Miss Buttercup's smile in that last picture is priceless. Fun, fun, fun times.
