I am a sucker for themed costumes. I probably don't even need to tell you that since my kids have had themed costumes pretty much every single Halloween since I have had two children. I also really like to let them chose though so I wasn't planning on having a theme this year. When we started talking about costumes, Justin wanted to be spiderman and Katelynn was going to just be a generic princess........
Then Katelynn got the idea to be Dorothy because we already had a Dorothy dress in our dress-up collection. The kids haven't seen the movie, but she had a friend that was Dorothy a few years ago so she at least knew the name. As soon as she started picking different costume ideas, Justin started changing his mind about spiderman and was altering between an M&M and a fireman.. among several others. Since Katelynn was set on Dorothy, the wheels started turning for me and I just had to show Justin the Wizard of Oz costume choices. He immediately loved the tin man. Since Jonathan and I had been Wizard of Oz characters for Halloween in maybe 2005?, I knew we had to do the entire family theme for Halloween. How fun would that be, right?
Sadly for me (and probably happily for Jonathan), my hubby ended up getting a job scheduled that wouldn't allow him to be home for Halloween this year. He thought he was off the hook, but before he was allowed to fly out tomorrow, I made him put on the costume so we could get family pictures at least! Bummer that they turned out a bit blurry but you at least get the idea!
I wanted to find the picture of Jonathan and I from years back, but I'm too lazy and trying desperately to keep this blog up to date so maybe one day this week I'll post it just so you can see how much older we are since then. Ha,ha.
Happy Halloween Everyone!
