Halloween
Tuesday, November 02, 2010After working away at costumes, we started out like this on Sunday night:
{Dumbledore & the Purple Witch}
like the graduation gown (circa 1991) which has been transformed into wizard robes? gotta love that hot glue!
Looking good... three houses into the trick or treating:
And then the purple witch decided the hat just got in the way. It's okay, she told me, now I'm just a purple princess:
And then the Dumbledore wig, which I painstakingly hand stitched kept doing this:
And suddenly, Dumbledore was transformed into Harry Potter - same costume sans wig & beard!
Ahhh.... the best laid plans. They never work out do they? But you have to love flexible kids!

I wish Dumbledore and Hermione could have trick-or-treated together! Abby will love these pictures.
ReplyDeleteGreat costumes! it's always the hardest parts to make that get dumped first. But the tutu made it! Wish I could have been there to see them (and little Yoda)
ReplyDeleteYes, the best laid plans. Miles kept asking if he could take off his hat and his whip holder. Inside I was saying "but I made that. do you know how long i spent making that for you? going to the nasty thrift stores" but on the outside "sure honey" Hilarious! We had fun! Hope you guys did too.
