halloween costumes 2016

This years costumes were a success. We mostly didn't leave costumes to the very last second, everyone had their minds made up weeks in advance and no one changed their idea. 

I really wanted to do a Wizard of Oz theme this year, so I showed them the movie in September hoping that they would get on board with my idea. Nope. But Adeline and I had fun with it. Well, I guess I had fun with it. Adeline would get a little frustrated with her big poofy skirt. Woops. Justin was going to try being the tin man or the scarecrow, but somehow he must have forgotten :)

The pink, the tulle skirt, the crown and that poor ear, and the wand. This was definitely the costume I was most giddy about.

 1. We bought the facepaint kit for Corbin's face and when Rudger saw the sample of a person with a pumpkin face, that's all he wanted to be. He would carry around the package and stare at it for the longest time. And for Halloween night, he insisted on circle eyes with no nose and lines going down his face.
2. The werewolf mask made us both so happy. Levi was worried we would never get to his costume; so the afternoon we set aside to just focus on the mask, gloves, feet, and tail - he was so very happy!

 1. Taylor saw this skeleton costume at the store when the Halloween stuff first came out, I don't know why but we didn't buy it, probably the price tag. As Halloween got closer I started to panic a little so I ran to the store and there it was 40% off.
2. As a family, we loved watching Once Upon a Time. Corbin thought the idea of being Rumpelstiltskin would be awesome. I tried making a yarn wig, eh, but he was happy with it. But the face and hand expressions is totally what makes this costume.
