Book it!

Yesterday was the annual Non-Halloween party at the Lee house. This year, since we had a book theme, we were supposed to dress as book characters.

Since the boys have been really into Peter Pan lately, we went as Peter and his crew.

It was a lot of fun piecing all the costumes together with things we already had at home plus a few thrift store purchases.

Kai had a good time with his costume

captain hook and mr smee costumes for kids

Don and I dressed up as Jonathan and Wendy Darling

big family dressed as peter pan characters

Maggi, Mary Kate, and I went out to the cold to take dorky pictures

Maggi was Madeline and Mary Kate was a Star Trek person. She took the easy way out 🙂

Marissa showed up dressed as Peter Pan. Miranda was her shadow. Cute idea!

There were other cute costumes that I failed to photograph. I wish I was better about it but it becomes difficult to photograph everything when you have kids to watch.

We get one more use out of these costumes this week!

Blog, Family, kids

I can be your hero baby!

Why yes, I did use Enrique Iglesias lyrics for my blog title. Thanks for asking.

Anyway, tonight was Action Hero night at Chickfila. Dress like an action hero, get a free kids meal. Naturally, we hear the word ‘free’ and we are in!

Evangeline really rocked her costume tonight! I made a felt mask for her today and she did great with it! She acted like she didn’t even notice it. She has been obsessed with sticking out her tongue this past week. I think she just realized it was there. I took her outside for a photoshoot and had a hard time narrowing down the pictures. She was so cute for all of them! So I’ll post a few on here–just because I can

But in the end, I chose this one for Instagram

The Lovings let Liam use their Spider-man costume. He won the costume contest! A couple of neat glow sticks, a Captain America washcloth, and a free kids meal coupon.

Kai was Superman, complete with Superman’s hairdo. Kai called the little curl in front his ‘hoop.’

I thought about doing a simple Batman costume for Kingston. He has a batman shirt. But I decided to go with a different idea for him. I chose Han Solo, because obviously he is pretty cool–at least according to Maggi. Kingston pulled of the look pretty well. This costume was put together super last minute with only the stuff he had in his drawer.

The boys had a great time! We got their picture (minus Kingston) with some of the workers, dressed as super heroes. CFA had a photographer taking pictures. So I’ll have one whenever they email that one to me.

We had to run some errands afterwards. I think the boys loved running errands in their costumes. Fun times!

I’ll post a family camp blog soon. However, I barely took any pictures. Let’s just say that technology was put away for the weekend, and that was nice! But that means no pictures 🙁
