I gave my son two choices, of which he chose to be...
a Thanksgiving dinner table!
This costume was super easy to create! I just cut two squares out of cardboard & hot glued them together. I also taped them together, for added security! I cut a hole in the middle, large enough to fit Zeke's head, covered it with a tablecloth (which I also glued on) & cut the hole for the tablecloth. I glued on some plates, cups, napkins, & silverware & cut out another piece of cardboard, which I covered in aluminum foil to represent the platter. We found the turkey hat for $2.50 in the dollar section of Target about a month ago. I wasn't even thinking about Halloween when I bought it!
Elie wanted to be a princess for Halloween. I told her that we could call her "Princess Tryptophan" (the chemical in turkey that causes you to be sleepy) but she didn't really go for it! I thought she would wear a gown my mom made for her, but after I cleaned out her closet, & the day before Halloween, she decided she wanted to wear this instead:
No one asked us what she was, which was good, since I wasn't exactly sure what to call her!
About a week before Halloween, we carved our pumpkins. Normally, we just let the kids draw faces on them & then cut them out. This year, I thought it would be fun to let them pick out a template. I thought they would enjoy picking out a character template & getting to help poke holes in their pumpkins with a screwdriver to transfer the design onto the pumpkin.
My husband had to get a bit creative when it came to cutting them out...
We were all very excited about how they turned out though!

I hope you had a fun Halloween!
