Claire agonized over what she wanted to be for Halloween. (A lot of her friends chose cute, frilly, bumble bee or other girly-type costumes. She was not interested in that.) Most kids wear store-bought costumes, so there is some unspoken preference for that. Sadly. Eventually, she embraced the idea of doing something totally unique and we had a great time working together to create this costume.
Benjamin was set on the "grim reaper" concept for weeks. I could have made a robe, I suppose. But the one from the costume store was pretty cool and I have many other things I'd rather be sewing, so I was happy to make a purchase for him.

So often sanity means knowing when to make and when to buy. It looks like your time was spent well. :-)
I think the number 2 pencil costume is so neat. What a great idea. Living in Illinois and seeing those bare feet made me shiver but then I remembered it's warm where you live. Your kids are adorable.
those are some great costumes!
Mom always made my costumes, and I LOVED it. I'm itching to do it for my own kids. But they really, really just want to dig through our dress-up bins and come up with something all on their own.
It's a good world when you've got enough dress-up to make any costume you can think of. :)
