Hop-py Halloween

This year was so much fun. The boys decided to again be totally opposite characters on the spectrum of Halloween costumes. It made us smile.

My intentions, however, of making a costume that was warm for our less than tropic weather, turned into a super hero that looked like he had too many carbs. 

My 5 year old didn't notice. In fact, his cardboard claws and spandex undies made him feel pretty awesome. Tip: sew the black stripes on to the chest before you stuff with cotton.

After naming off a list of animals our sweet Julian decided on nothing less than darling for a costume: a bunny. I panicked when his mind was set. A bunny? Isn't that a girl costume?

 Luckily JoAnn's had some gray fur on hand and I reminded myself of the fun we'll have looking back (i.e. blackmail). Tip: make sure to take into account the extra material for your 3 yr old's belly when making their costume. 

 My sister made a great Halloween costume when she was pregnant, so I used that idea to make mine while announcing to our friends and neighbors our exciting news. Our baby's due next May :)
