Fairies and legos

We had another fun Halloween this year. Sloane got really into dressing up and decided to get a Tinkerbell costume. She has had an obsession with "bad ladies" or female Disney villains for awhile. She was obsessed with the idea of these "bad ladies" and always wanted to read books and watch movies with them in it. It was funny but also a little worrisome. Sloane's favorite bad lady was Cruella Deville. So, she was all set to be Cruella for Halloween but out of the blue she developed a fear of all things scary. Now, she wants nothing to do with bad ladies or anything remotely spooky. So, Tinkerbell it was. Finn wanted to be a lego ninja figurine. I found a tutorial of how to make your own lego costume using Styrofoam and duct tape. I thought- oh, cheap and easy. No. hobby stories are running a racket on Styrofoam. It is way more expensive than you might think. And it was way more time consuming than we thought. Rick did most of the work. It turned out so cute. There was one small problem... Finn could barely walk in it. It took him like 10 minutes to go from one house to the next while trick or treating We tried pulling him in the wagon, but I think that was too embarrassing. So, the pieces of the costume started coming off piece by piece. Ugh. At least we got some good photo ops.
