Halloween 2009

After a trip to the massage therapist yesterday I am feeling much better! So I can finally post the costumes for this year. Be warned: I didn't feel so great this year, so I didn't exactly make the costumes. But I thought you'd at least want to see them.


Luke was the chicken (my all time favorite costume.) Every one of the boys has worn it. See them here (Jack), here (Sam), and here (Charlie). This costume was originally in one of the Martha Stewart Baby magazines and included instructions.

Charlie was Spiderman. Honestly I am quite snobby about using store-bought costumes and have never done it until this year. We borrowed this one from a friend. Charlie was very happy with it and I was happy that all I had to do was pick it up from her house!

Sam was a white ninja. We had most of the stuff already: white tee shirts, white pj pants (from a previous costume). I wasn't quite sure how to do a ninja mask and I didn't want to make one, so we used this tutorial to make one from a t-shirt. We used a souvenir shirt and Sam kept taking it off all night because it was itchy. So he looked more like a guy wearing all white with a Cabo shirt around his neck. Oh well.

Jack was a black ninja. We also had all of his stuff already (pants from previous costume). I only had to buy the t-shirt for the mask. At first I was worried because he looked a little more like a terrorist than a ninja. But that was the day before Halloween and I wasn't going to go searching for something else. His mask stayed on much better during trick-or-treating.

Here's the whole crowd. Click here for the complete previous Halloween photos.
