Halloween 2009

This year my boys came up with a plan for their costumes. They wanted to be Mario and Luigi so badly. They pleaded with Chloe for weeks for her to be Princess Peach. The boys tried everything to get her to want to be Peach. Chloe wanted to be Alice in Wonderland. She fell in love with Alice during the Electrical Parade for some reason. Chloe is POSITIVE that Alice waved to her and is her friend. Anyway, after multiple promises were made Chloe agreed to be Princess Peach. Remember, Shauna doesn't sew. We hunted for costumes. No luck.

Plan B. Quick, find what you can. We did find an Alice in Wonderland costume at the Disney store for Chloe. Chloe was not impressed with the quality. She was disappointed. So she picked cheerleader instead. Oh goodie. Derek picked Lightening McQueen's pit crew guy costume. Cute cute. That left Preston. Hmmm. He didn't want to be anything. He thought everything was "cheesy" and "lame." Finally, he said he would be a pirate. Then he saw the costumes and said no thanks. Preston said he wanted to be a hobo. I thought yes. Easy! So I got some mismatched old clothes and told him I would cut holes in them and paint them (to make them look dirty). Preston said, "No way mom. That is embarrassing. I'm not going to wear dirty holey clothes that don't match." Uh, what did he think a hobo was? Preston then informed me he just wanted to wear hobo gloves (cool, trendy, fingerless gloves) and regular clothes. Uh, no. That is NOT a costume. I then convinced him to be a rocker....AXL ROSE. Oh yeah baby! Next year, he doesn't get to pick anymore. I will just pick for him. This year was a pain with him. Argh. Doug catered a party on Halloween. Here are some pictures:
