I told Aurora this year that for as long as I could I wanted her and brother to match costumes. Last year they were flounder and Ariel from the movie the little mermaid. I am so proud of Aurora this year because we had a hard time getting costumes. This year she wanted to be the Incredible's and this was a much harder task for me than I anticipated. Leif was too small to be Dash and I could not for the life of me find a Jack Jack costume that was in my price range. I thought I would make the costume myself but I did not manage my time very well and did not have enough time to make it.
We went to the costume store in hopes that I could get a Dash and hem it. The first costume store we went to was Party City and there were no Incredible Costumes at all. We headed over to Spirit which is a dedicated Halloween costume store. They did not have any incredible's, Drat. I told Aurora they did not have her costume and she would have to pick something else. She decided to be an Angel and brother could be a Devil. If you know my kids you understand how perfect these costumes were.
Spirit is a little expensive so I told aurora that we would go back to Party City so I could save some money, always a good thing in my opinion. Back to Party City we went and when we arrived they were sold out of Angels in her size. So I didn't get to save any money and probably spent more money on gas going back and forth between Party City and Spirit.
But here are pictures of my little Angel and my little Devil and I have to say that Aurora rocked this costume it is by far my favorite one yet.
This was before we started trick or treating and they were so cute.
On a side note Aurora just recently got the new movie Tinkerbell and said she wanted wings like Tinkerbell and I told her she had wings, she informed me, "those wings don't work, they don't move and we need some magic"
Daddy did not go trick or treating with us he stayed home and handed out candy to all our trick or treaters. We have very generous neighbors and the kids only had to go around the block once before their buckets were full.
Leif was too cute while he was trick or treating this year. He did not understand it at first. The first house we went to, we knocked on the door and he kept looking back at me as though to say, "What are we doing here and why do I have to wear this?"
What do you think happened next? They opened the door and put candy in his bucket! Then we went onto the next house and guess what? They put candy in his bucket! By the third or Fourth house he understood and he took off leading the way.
The kids buckets were so full that after a block they were done and ready to go home.
We did carve pumpkins this year but I did not think to take any pictures of us doing it.
