Costumes and Candy

Back in August Jack met a little girl at the park and in moments they were bff and she was asking him to come for a sleepover and watch Star Wars - Have most 4 year olds been introduced to Star Wars already cause Jack was clueless as to what she was talking about. Our trip to the park that day opened up a whole new category of toys and obsession. The following weekend Josh watched the movie with Jack (or just parts of it) and for weeks all we heard about was R2 D2 , Luke, Storm Troopers, etc... And then to fuel the fire, my mom pulled out a whole box of action figures from when my brothers were kids. Specifically the three storm trooper figures have been part of everyday play for a while now.
Well, a long story short Jack quickly went from wanting to be an astronaut to insisting on dressing as Luke Skywalker for halloween. Thankfully my cousin's son had the same idea last year so I was able to just borrow a costume. As for Eleanor, all I had to do was make a simple gown and we were set. The buns were my favorite to make, but unfortunately she would only keep them on for moments at a time...bummer, but the pig tails worked well too.
Another fun season of Costumes and Candy!
