The Boo Bash was extra early this year. I suspect that's part of the reason that I outsourced costume creation to Amazon and Costco. Sophie decided early on that she wanted to be an "Elvin Princess" and we searched until we found this ensemble.
The inspiration for Phoebe's creepy doll costume came from the dress. She occasionally gets a bag of hand-me-downs from a girl at church who is a few years older than Phoebe. This dress was in the most recent bag. She was going to pass it on to Goodwill at first, then she realized it had costume potential. Topher was going to be a polar bear until we were at Costco back in August and he saw this fire fighter costume. It'll be perfect if Halloween is cold. And bonus, it's covered in reflective stripes. Cooper decided he was too old to dress up until the morning of. That's when he asked me to pull last year's costume out of the basement. And Peter didn't join us this year. He had forgotten to add the Boo Bash to his conflict sheet for the fall play at the high school, so he was at rehearsal.
There were plenty of fun activities for the kids. They made masks.
They threw (plastic) axes.
Phoebe found a matching baby doll friend.
Also, dinosaurs.
We ended the night by meeting two men in red: Santa and the red M&M.
As we walked our tired selves to the van at the end of the event I grabbed this blurry selfie with Bryan, to prove we were there.
