Halloween Costume

Noah decided he wanted to be a train for Halloween. We found a Thomas costume and James costume but I couldn't see spending $24 on something that he would wear for just one night. So we got creative and made a train smock! It was great because Noah was able to choose whichever engine he wanted to be. He decided on Percy.

I drew Percy's image (copied from a DVD cover) and then Noah and used acrylic craft paint to color it in. He already had an engineers cap, handkerchief, and train whistle.




We also carved some pumpkins that we picked up from a pumpkin patch in Sherwood. The winking one is mine, the classic jackolantern is Noah's, and the baby is Toby's. Geary was too sick to carve a pumpkin.

  2. Thanks, C! I was thinking the same thing about your power tool pumpkins! It sure gets easier to do when you're a grown-up, eh?
