Trick or Treat :)

Roxy and Kai have a big pink box in their room. It’s the “Costume Box” and is so jam packed full of costumes and dress up stuff that it won’t close anymore. There’s at least 3 or 4 princess costumes, a firefighter, policeman, doctor, a girl pirate and a boy pirate, cowboy, Superman, SuperGirl, Batman, Batgirl and a Wonder Woman costume. I’m pretty sure there’s a monkey costume in there somewhere, too and a couple of really ridiculous pink and purple wigs, hats, sunglasses, feather boas, plastic high heels and big chunky jewelry. Let’s just say they had PLENTY of options for Halloween this year. So what did they want to be? A black cat and a mummy. Great. Probably the ONLY two things not already in the box. And, of course, they decided to be a black cat and mummy AFTER all the stores had sold 99% of their costumes.

So, we DIY’d it :)

I made Roxy’s cat ears out of a headband and blue duct tape (classy, huh?!) and Henry drew her whiskers and nose on with a ball point pen. She has a tail (and it’s actually really cute) but of course you can’t see it in the picture. The black and blue tutu was made by my sister Jessie, even though I told Roxy black cats don’t usually have big poofy blue bellies. She said “Well then, I’m not a black cat. I’m a black and blue cat.” :) As thrown-together as it was, she actually pulled it off and looked pretty darn cute. And she had a great time. And, of course, that’s all that matters, anyway :)

Kai’s costume is made out of about $20 worth of gauze wrap and a $3 piece of Halloween decor ripped up fabric (the kind you’re supposed to hang outside!) We pretty much just wrapped and wrapped and wrapped until he was the WORLD’S MOST ADORABLE MUMMY EVER! Seriously, he could not have looked cuter. And he did the best little “Mummy Face.” Ahhhh, I love my boy. He had a great time, too.

So, here they are, my goofy little trick or treaters. Oh, how I love my Rox and Kai :)
