Halloween

We did Calvin and Hobbes this year. It was an idea that started by asking ourselves, "How can we include Aaron in the family costume when he doesn't like the dress up?" The answer was Calvin's Dad! Aaron already looks and dresses like Calvin's Dad, so he could be Calvin's Dad without dressing up. Perfect! I'm Calvin's Mom, Scotty is Calvin, and Annie is Hobbes. Her height advantage on Scotty always really worked well for this costume. I made the tiger costume by buying a pokemon costume from Goodwill. I glued white felt over the yellow stomach. Then glued stripy black felt all over the orange. Then I used some of the extra orange felt from the wings that I cut off the costume to cover Annie's headband. I basically felt like a Halloween Mom Ninja putting it all together. And Annie didn't want to be Hobbes for trick-or-treating, so we got her a $10 Elsa costume, and Scotty wore the tiger for trick-or-treating.
