After running out of time 2 years ago when I did our Alice in Wonderland Extravaganza I decided that this year I would start a month earlier...and it is a good thing I did! The girls and I had a slight disagreement (yelling match) about what our theme would be this year. I let the girls pick out their clothes, I let them have major input on their rooms, but I
CARE about Halloween costumes.
We were thinking about Star Wars, which would be awesome, but there are only 2 recognizable female Star Wars characters, and as much as I
love Mara Jade, I just didn't want to be asked over and over again who I was, and to have to give 5 minute presentations just so people got it.
I was thinking about doing something different (for us), like "the 20's", or even Avengers, but the girls were resistant to every idea I came up with. They wanted to be what they want to be every year...princesses. Well we came up with a compromise. Any guesses as to what our theme is? (no fair Mom and Jes, who know). Here is a little hint in the form of pictures of my latest project:

For Livi's hat |

The back of the one for Livi's pocket |
|
For Ella's hat. Yes, he IS sporting an awesome eye patch! |

A collection of my mini masterpieces. I wish they looked a little more mechanical, but for clay I think they turned out ok. |

STEAM PUNK, wooo! You should send this link into epbot, she'd love it! Those costumes are gonna be AMAZING, I keep trying to think up themes for our Halloween, but whatever I come up with won't be nearly as awesome as yours.
You made those?! I'm very impressed! (You're definitely your father's daughter!)
I'm James Beesley, and I approve these creations.
