This year I was really pleased with the kids' choices of Halloween costumes. I felt like they had some thought and depth to them rather than just something they saw while we were walking through the store.
Joseph loves the book series, "Fablehaven" by Brandon Mull. He is also slightly obsessed with bad guys. So Joseph decided he wanted to be Navarog, a dragon prince who appears in the form of a human and convinces everyone he is a good guy until his true colors come shining through. Joseph decided how he was going to create this costume himself, with a normal jacket that he attached wings we cut out of an old sheet (attached with duck tape!), as well as a construction paper mask on the hood and a sword at the waist. This is the essence of Halloween to me: creativity, work, and literary characters.
Ruth loved the How to Train Your Dragon movies. She really wanted to be Toothless or the Light Fury, but we couldn't find a costume or a way to make a costume that would let her fly, so we settled with Astrid. I'm glad we could find that, at least!
Miriam was quite punny and decided quite a while ago she wanted to be a Disney Crews (Cruise). Ha ha ha! Rebecca was also a Disney Crews, but I didn't get a picture of her. She is fleeting these days!
