aka, Halloween.
Last year I decided to attempt to make the kids costumes. I had always bought them before, but the kids were little and didn't care what they were, so I could wait until the last minute and buy them on clearance and choose whatever was left. Last year I found instructions for making a puffin costume that looked easy enough and Cole was very compliant. Tate eventually settled on a shark which was easy enough to make also.
This year Cole came home from school in early September informing me that he wanted to be the black ninja because his name was also Cole. For those of you who aren't parents of elementary aged boys, the black ninja named Cole is from Lego Ninjago. Tate thought that he could be the red ninja. Turns out, ninja costumes are super easy. Red shirt, red pants, red scarf, red stocking had with a slit cut in it, Voila! Cole even made nunchuks out of twine string and milking inflations. Tate used the pirate sword he got from the children's museum. Super easy!
Having a girl is different. When Cole was a baby, we didn't do Halloween. Tate was a lion only because we had to bring him along anyway. That was not going to be good enough for my baby girl. She needed to be extra cute! I found an idea for a candy corn costume on pintrest. It looked simple enough. The only problem, I couldn't find the right colored material, so I had to dye it. This fabric didn't dye particularly well, but good enough. Her costume took a lot more time and money than the boys, but she was awfully stinking cute!
