This years Halloween costume required much more prep time than a trip to the costume megastore so it wasn't until a couple days before the big event that I was able to do a dress rehearsal.
Alex wore the green dino/dragon costume.
He was thrilled with it when I put him up on the counter in the bathroom where he could see himself from head to toe.
Matthew requested a Tarantula costume. Since they don't make ready made tarantulas, I volunteered to make it. We searched google for images of tarantula costumes and found one that looked do-able. Why does it always look so much easier in a the picture? After many more hours than expected and several trips to Joann fabrics and the dollar store, we had a tarantula costume.
This is just the pants and the gloves but already he is feeling very tough.
Alex loved his costume so much he just wanted to walk around the house again and again. Which turned into a game of chase.
This is Matthew's costume (minus the black socks) in its "on all eight" presentation (with the menacing face).
It took a lot of hours but in the end turned out great and held together right to the very end (thank goodness for hot glue) and best of all he LOVED it!!
