Halloween 2010 - Mama Mia!

In my personal blog I've gone into detail about the process I've taken in putting together Halloween costumes this year. For this blog I'll spare you the details because I'm too lazy to go into depth about my journey :p

I said last year that I was so disappointed with the quality and prices of Halloween costumes. I took an oath to learn how to sew so I could make their costumes for the following year. And so that's what I did... kinda... ok not really. I didn't learn how to sew, but I still managed to somehow create 3 costumes that the kids approved of. We went with Super Mario Bros with a modern flair ;)

Challenge #1: convincing one of the boys to be the bad guy. Seniority won out and the little brother got stuck with the villain role.
If you ask me it actually suits him well.

2nd oldest pretty much got 2nd choice... the side kick

and the oldest of the bunch of course got dibs on the lead role. Doesn't it always seem to work out that way?

So Mario Bros. was cool and all, but how to take the "coolness" level up one more notch? Aaaah yes... add in some speed!

Voila! Mario Kart Bros!

Happy Halloween!

This portrait of Ruby Mei in Fatu's football gear was drawn by Brittainy's Mom. I can't get over how adorable it is.
I had no problem getting Mei Mei to pose alongside the artwork of herself.
