Halloween

For the first time, ever, I think, I put more work into my costume than anybody else's.  A couple of days before Halloween I decided I could whip up a Wonder Woman costume pretty quickly.  It came together really well, but there was quite a bit of work involved.

I couldn't find a red t-shirt, so I decided to make one.  I am really happy with how it turned out and I have plans to make more t-shirts for myself since I wear them all the time!  I found the graphic online and tried my hand at a freezer paper stencil.  Amazing, I tell you.  Everything else came together without any trouble.  I am really happy with how it turned out.

Spencer went to work on Halloween dressed as The Doctor.  I don't think there was anyone who got the reference.  Especially because there is a doctor who used to work at the hospital who always wore bow ties.  Everybody kept asking if that is who he was.  Still fun.

Lilia is the only one I got pictures of!  She ended up with a few different costumes.  All of them very low maintenance.

I have to mention Anne's witch on the door.  Every time I saw her I laughed.  There is something about the mouth that makes me think of a piranha and paired with the pink eyes, just perfect.

Some neighbors took a group picture, which was so nice.  Spencer pulled out his zoot suit, which all the kids loved.  Benny was Anakin Skywalker, Andy was Optimus Prime (turned Jedi when some neighbors gave us a lightsaber!), Lilia started out as a cow girl, Anne was Rapunzel (wearing her sleeping hat), and Jane finished us off as the monkey.

It was really cold that night.  Janie, I think, was dressed the most appropriately.

Around this time Jane also started pulling herself to standing!
