After ruling out dinosaur (or dragon) for what would be the third year in a row, Addilyn happily settled on Princess Leia from Star Wars. The neighborhood boys are constantly playing Star Wars so she's definitely excited by the characters. Also, Daddy has let her and Asher watch a few scenes from a couple of the Star Wars movies (he's had to be surprisingly deliberate; I was shocked to discover all that violence, gross things, etc. that I had completely forgot were there). Here is an overview of her costume. I was stoked to be able to make it completely from stuff we already had.
Pretty Leia and her hair.
Elias in a hand-me-down monkey costume. All three children have gotten to wear this costume. It's still cute!
Asher wasn't really thrilled with wearing a costume this year so I'm having to get a bit more creative with photos. It took us some convincing to get him in the costume. He screamed and we almost switched last minute to Batman (since he was already wearing his Batman t-shirt). Luckily Daddy was able to do the trick (yay Daddy!). Here Asher's checking out his tail.
Doing what any good dragon/dinosaur would do...climbing things. I guess this skill would have worked just as well for Batman too.
Here is the group of trick-or-treaters right before we set off. In our group we had 3 monkeys (although only 2 are visible, 1 is hidden behind Leia), a dragon, a turtle, a knight, Luigi from Super Mario Brothers, Princess Leia, and a duck.When we got home, we allowed the kids to each pick one treat from their bag to eat. Addilyn's choice was candy corn and Asher's, luckily, were the raisins (especially since that was the only thing he could eat in his entire bag).
A good time was had by all and Daddy was easily stocked with candy until the end of the semester.
