An Incredibles Halloween

When I asked Celie what she wanted to be for Halloween, she told me about 5 different things. Finally, after watching the Incredibles one night (a Disney Movie), Celie decided that for Halloween, we all should be the Incredibles for Halloween. She would be Violet, Anna would be Dash, Jake would be baby Jack Jack, Bob would be, well, Bob - or Mr. Incredible and I would be Elastigirl. So, before I put a ton of effort into the costumes, I waited to make sure that she repeated this request and that Anna did not come up with any request of her own. I finished the costumes this morning - just in time for Halloween.

We were very lucky to have the Deliberato's over for dinner. They have 2 children - twins and they just turned 5. They were dressed as Darth Vader and Sleeping Beauty. They went trick or treating with us around the neighborhood. We had a great time and was glad that we could share the experience with others.

We received several comments on our costumes. I believe they were a hit. If you haven't seen the Incredibles, we highly recommend it. There are a lot of parallels. Being Superheros and all. :)

Great costumes!

We have that movie but Mallory has never gotten into it (Monsters Inc is still the favorite). We'll have to try it again.

Happy Halloween!
