Here are the halloween pics finally. Jake was a skeleton:
Nate was Elmo:
You can really see their personalities in the costumes that they chose. Jake wanted something safe that wouldn't bring any extra attention to him but that would also be cool. Nate was my hardest one to find a costume for because every year he wants to be the funny one in his class. We were at Walmart at 9pm the night before Halloween when we finally found this. I found a 2T Elmo costume that was very hard to get on and off of him. I don't know why, maybe because he's almost 11! He said it was okay because he would just have one of his friends help him get it on and off. Luckily we found a 3T/4T Elmo costume that fit him "just right"!I remember the days when I would spend weeks coming up with the perfect costume and then days sewing costumes so that the kids would look adorable. What happened to me? Funny thing is, the kids don't seem to be any less happy with the costumes they got. Maybe there's a lesson there.

I feel like I am totally on the same page with you. I bought my boys costumes at Party City Thursday evening. At first I felt so bad that I didn't come up with cute homemade costumes and then I realized that on Halloween they got as much candy, had as much fun, and they even slept in their costumes because I wasn't so crazed about keep them nice! Too bad it took me this long to figure it out!
Nolan would've loved the Elmo costume!
They look great. Nate just cracks me up. Love those boys. Atleast you had some time in your life where you would put effort into their costumes. I have NEVER been that way. Good thing I have other talents! :)
I'll have to send the Elmo costume your way Melissa! We will never have use for it here again!
