Costumes 2010

Steve thinks I'm "gang-bust" set on making a theme for our Halloween costumes every year, but really it is fun and easy, especially when you have a friend who lets you borrow from their excellent costume selection.  So here is our "gang-bust" themed costumes:
Peter Pan
I'm noticing a tradition of Steve always playing the villain...  
According to Charlie Brown in The Great Pumpkin, "Everyone should choose a costume in direct contrast to their personality."  :)

Ellie loves TinkerBell and I found this great costume at a thrift store for $3.  It was dirty and missing the wings, but a wash later, wings from the dollar store and tahdah
Ellie-TinkerBell
We had a green pair of wings, but Ellie insisted on wearing the red.  :)
 
Now you may be thinking Lila was a cat, Mittens, last year.  She isn't really a cat this year.  She is a lost boy or lost girl as pictured below from the movie. :)  Her costume I got on clearance several years ago for yet another $3 and by the way it is way soft.

Since Halloween is on Sunday we had all of the festivities today.  Ellie dressed up for school where they had a little party.  Then we went to Trunk-or-Treat at the church.

 Checking out the loot.

Mrs. Malia gave the kids a cute Halloween notepad and pencil with a couple pieces of candy.  Ellie of course loves the notepad and pencil and spent all afternoon drawing.  Here is her picture of herself as TinkerBell.
