The older boys decided that we should have a family theme for costumes this year. Joshua and Jaden came up with the idea of having everyone dress up as a character from Peter Pan. Joshua was Captain Hook:
Jaden was Peter Pan:
Joshua and Jaden decided that Judah should be Tinker Bell, but hubs vetoed that one. We settled on Judah being the crocodile instead:
We pieced together Joshua's costume from some pirate items we already had on-hand, and I made Jaden's costume out of an old sweat suit. We found Judah's crocodile get-up at a consignment sale. The boys and I made their swords out of cardboard and foil (which they thought was SO fun). I thought they ended up looking a tad bit rag-tag, and I doubt anyone but us could tell who they were supposed to be. The boys didn't seem to mind, however. It was amazing how their little imaginations just took flight. I don't think Joshua or Jaden would have been more pleased with a custom made, designer costume! They were 100% convinced that they looked the part. I loved it!
Here's the group shot:
Speaking of dressing up, I also managed to take some pictures of Judah in some precious little cherub PJs we received as a shower gift. They are so adorable - - a little blue sleeper with wings.
I think he looks like a Punk Rock Angel, and those cheeks are very cherub-like if I do say so myself.
Can you tell his eyes are still just a little bit blue?!?! I keep hoping that one of our kiddos will have Brent's amazing blue eyes. Judah's aren't turquoise like his daddy's, but they are grayish green at the moment. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they will stay that way. Of course, if he ends up with big chocolate saucers like his older brothers, that will be just fine :)
Cute boys!
