Happy Halloween!

The kids had a wonderful Halloween. In the morning we went to a costume contest and trick or treating at the market. A lot of the vendors were giving out candy to the kids. At the costume contest, each child received a treat bag. They didn't win the grand prize though.
Lovey was dressed up as Syndrome from the Incredibles. The only Syndrome costume we could find was $99 on Ebay. I made this for about $10. I even made the cape blue on the inside just like Syndrome's. I loved this costume. It was easy to make and it looks just like the character. It has been a few years since the Incredibles movie came out, so not many people recognized who he was. Lovey was thrilled though when one of the trick or treaters who came to the door recognized that he was Syndrome.
He even had spiky hair and a mask like Syndrome. A few minutes and some black eyeliner and you have a great mask.
Littlebit wanted to be a pink princess. This costume took me a few days to make. I was worried about the fit, but I let out the seams and it was perfect. She looked beautiful and wore her crown from her second birthday.
Both kids couldn't wait to go trick or treating. They ran from house to house and were only gone about 30 minutes because they were running. I'm glad they had such a great time. They are already talking about what they are going to be next year.
