Halloween (even though it's almost Christmas)

Halloween is getting more fun, the older the kids. Danielle is starting to understand the concept of months and looks forward to holidays. Samuel likes candy. It's a win for both of them. We had to bribe Samuel with a candy bar to get him to wear his Yoda costume that I picked up at a garage sale last year. He ran behind the end table with it so we couldn't take it away, I guess.

Danielle was Rapunzel, from the Disney movie "Tangled". I was going to have her wear a blonde wig I used to use, but it was too big and too much trouble for a 4 year old. We have a lot of older folks in the neighborhood who didn't recognize the dress, but Danielle loved it. I made it for her for Disney on Ice, but it'll get some mileage, since it's a play dress now that we're past Halloween.

I made the Flintstones costumes that I bought the fabric for last year. The kids at Danielle's school didn't know who I was, so I'm glad I didn't make the kids BamBam and Pebbles. I wore my costume to work, and we both wore our costumes around the neighborhood with the kids (Mimi helped out by passing out candy).  The neighbors loved it.

Ryan even shaved his beard down to stubble for the costume. That's commitment!
