Happy Halloween

This year for Halloween, our family dressed up as The Incredibles...Mr. Incredible, Elastagirl, Violet, Dash and Baby Jack-Jack. This is the first year that we could all agree on a group to dress up as. In past years, Walker has wanted to be a superhero and Riley wanted to be a princess...it just never has quite worked out for our costumes to coordinate. But, last year after Halloween, The Incredibles came on the Disney channel. It hit us that we should dress like this superhero family...Owen would be the perfect age for Jack-Jack, Riley looks just like Violet (but doesn't act like her, thank goodness), and Walker loves superheros, not to mention he needed an excuse to spike his hair! Tim and I were not excited about our potential costumes, but we compromised and it all worked out. We decided to purchase Walker's costume off ebay. Note to self: when looking for Halloween costumes on ebay, don't wait until October; start looking in May. Everyone and their brother is desperate for that perfect costume for their sweet, darling child...and let's just say it gets vicious! We got Walker's costume and I decided to make the other four. I was not about to pay an average of $70 each, to only be worn once! They all turned out great! In fact, our family tied for Best Costume at our church's Trunk or Treat.
