Halloween

This year for Halloween, we wanted to do a family costume.  We decided on Ninja Turtles.  Back in July, I found a Rapunzel dress for Sadie for about $4, and I bought that.  So, she dressed up as a Ninja Turtle for the Trunk or Treat at the church with the rest of the family and then dressed up as Rapunzel and actual Halloween.  So, Rick was Leonardo (we found a t-shirt for him), Evan was Mikey (his favorite color is orange), Logan was Raph (he's got a bit of a temper), Sadie was Donatello (because of the purple), and I was April O'Neil.  

My costume was super easy.  I just wore a yellow shirt and then used the temporary hair paint to color it red.  I tried finding a wig, but I look a little bit too much like a member of Def Leppard to pull it off.

The turtle costumes were easy.  It was a pain trying to find green sweats and sweaters that matched.  So, we bought pajamas instead.  It worked out really well.  The masks and belts are just jersey/polyester that I cut.  The shells roasting pans from the dollar store that are spray painted brown. It worked out a lot better than I expected.

We got home, checked over our candy, tried our best to get warm and then watched "The Adventures of Ichabod and Mr Toad".
