Oliver is going as Batman again since his costume from last year still fits. I was hoping George would do the same, but he insisted that he wanted to be Spiderman. Of course Target didn’t have any of those, so he ended up picking this hideous plastic Transformer thing. But he loves it – so whatever. To stay in keeping with the original Justice League trend, Eleanor wanted to be Wonder Woman and we DID find that costume at Target. Funny enough – it’s really cute, keeping my guilt over not being the mom who sews beautiful handmade costumes (i.e. my mom) at a comfortable low this year.
We went to a Halloween party last weekend where the costumes were given a test drive:
Off to fight crime!
Optimus Prime joins the Marvel gang.
Want to know what Eleanor first said she wanted to be for Halloween? Well – she knew that Batman is a superhero, and she wanted to be a girl hero. So she was very insistent that she wanted to be “Batgirl Star Underwear.” It took us several weeks to figure out that she meant “Wonder Woman.”
Happily – no cheap synthetic fabrics were ripped or shredded at the party and we’re all ready for the big show tonight.
Wishing you and yours very little gory dismemberment and tons of sticky candy smiles!
Yay! Hope they had a great night! xo
They're adorable, and that Batgirl star underwear comment slayed me!

I think she could be onto something there with batgirl star underwear… maybe a new female superhero? Love the costumes.
SO cute!! They seem to have grown quite a bit very recently!
They're growing so fast!!!!!
I remember the superhero years – so cute.
They all looked so cute! I am not a huge fan of Halloween either, but when I see my kids dressed up in their costumes, it's too cute to not want to take a few pictures and enjoy the candy and all that jazz! ;) My boys were Mario and Luigi.
