We were in a hurry to go trick or treating so I didn't get great shots of this year's costumes. The kids were just patient enough for
me to snap a couple of shots each of them.
Being the baby of the family means you get to wear your older brother's previous Halloween costume. I don't think either of my boys have actually seen the show Blue's Clues but we have a few
story books with the character.
To make Link from Legend of Zelda, I used a green wool poncho we found at the thrift store. There was just enough fabric for the tunic and a matching hat. It ended up being cheaper than new fabric. The shield was a dollar store find that we painted with craft paint.
The leather trench coat for my oldest son's Loki costume was a thrift store score a couple of weeks ago. I do wish I had gotten a better picture of the boot covers. I was pleased with how well they turned out. I also wish I had taken a picture of the back of his hair. We let him grow it out for Halloween but he is getting a haircut this weekend!
Snow White took quite a bit of sewing time but was a lot of fun. I just had regular dress pattern to work with and I had a bit of trouble getting the velvet top to fit properly but in the end it turned out pretty. My daughter made her own shoes (again, we missed the photo op for those as well) and they are darling gold shoes with bows on the toes.
