If you put all the Halloween costumes in a line and arrange them by subject matter you'll find He-Man on one side of the spectrum and an adorable cute little cuddly penguin on the total opposite end.
Since Liam is getting into awesome super hero stuff we thought we could try and pick a pretty funny looking one. Good thing Liam is crazy about old school super heroes. (Long live good cartoons!)
After packing my camera bag with suckers we were ready to suit this cutie up.
Tip: One way to get your kid in his huge costume and hat is to put mittens on his hands and have some bribery ready. The candy will distract them from the huge whatever being put on their head and the mittens will prevent them from pulling it off!
Check out Liam's back shot!
I was pretty proud of myself for sewing & coming up with the pattern for this pretty obviously homemade costume; Liam had at least 10 different pieces of velcro and snaps holding his costume together!
You have to have a pretty quick finger to get an 18 month old standing still. This gives a good head shot of Julian's huge penguin head I made.
Later in the evening we found this little lost Penguin running around with a big smile saying, "Dada? Dada?" His mother Penguin had been keeping an eye on him though.
I think I was really excited this year because Tanner was able to come. Just him being there had Liam feel like a real super hero.

YAY! Awesome costumes as usual! I LOVE He-Man! Thanks for not making Julian be She-Ra. ;-) That is the cutest penguin ever!
We all laughed til our sides hurt. Thanks for putting humor before dignity. It greatly benefits everyone but Liam when he's 15.
So, Cute! A always, you never fail to impress.
You are so talented! Long live the spirit of halloween! I can't wait to see you all, and miss you tons
Every year I think you can't outdo yourself, and every year you do just that! Soooo CUTE!!! I'm not sure who is having the most fun: the kids or the parents :) Love you all. PS How did we function before Velcro?
I think we've all got it wrong. He-man may be cool and everything, but CARRIE is the real super hero here! Unbelievable job! Both of them look so fantastic! I really don't know how you do it. I vote for you for super mom of the decade. No battle.
Awesome. The muscles turned out great. Julian's hat is rockin awesome.
Jules kind of stands like a penguin. In the cute way.
Love it!
Carrie, you and Myla seriously need to go into a kids costume business together!!! The boys' costumes are so cute and so AWESOME!!! You are a woman of many talents!!
It was fun to get to visit you while I was down! Thanks for letting me barge in to your apartment too! : )
