Chris went and picked up some candy for our first ever handing out candy experience. We have always lived in apartments where children and costumes were not aplenty so this year will be fun. I will be manning the porch with Conor while Chris takes Ryan around the neighborhood in search of, "Sugar!" as Ryan is known to run around exclaiming.
I will come back to add better photos when (okay IF), I can get Ryan to stand still long enough for a clear photo of his costume and when I figure something out for Conor, but I wanted to go ahead and set the link-up since I know a lot of people went to Halloween parties over the weekend and might already have photos!
At my last midwife appointment, the midwife asked Ryan what he was going to be for Halloween. I didn't think Ryan would answer the question since we hadn't really discussed it, I had just had him try his costume on a few times because I couldn't get enough of it. So I was just tickled when he gave her a slight knowing smile and whispered, "Ah-bit."
I followed the instructions from this costume that Tess pinned a couple of months ago. The pants are Ryan's normal corduroy pants rolled up. The shirt and vest were also already residents in Ryan's closet. I bought a green fleece blanket from Goodwill and sewed a cloak using a tutorial that I cannot find at this moment! I bought some flip flops at Once Upon a Child then wrapped eyelash yarn around them to create some hairy feet. Finally, I ordered this leaf clasp.
Luckily, my friend, Lauren, miraculously snapped a photo of Ryan and Carson at story time.
Chris says they look like Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure:

Share your Halloween costumes here!
I'll have to come back to link up with pictures tonight! He is so cute, and I hope he gets lots of sugar!
ReplyDeleteOH MY GOODNESS! He is the perfect little hobbit! We considered having Michael go as an ewok but I just couldn't find the right "bear" costume to work with to make it into an ewok. So a cow it is! I will hopefully take some good pictures tonight and link up soon! And I'm probably going to steal the idea of a hobbit some year... just FYI! ;)
ReplyDeleteNo way! We were planning on having Ryan be an ewok until we saw this costume :) You so should have Michael be a hobbit in the future :) the costume was so easy to put together!
Delete"aw-bit!" This is so cute I can't even.
ReplyDeleteOmg so clever! Love it. I'm sadly not dressing up (and don't have any kiddos to dress!) so I can't link up but look forward to seeing everyone's costumes!
ReplyDeleteLOVE the little hobbit and also love the ewok idea mentioned here. Next year, next year...
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute as a hobbit! I love it, especially the hairy feet! So creative.
