As you may be aware, Graham is obsessed with all things Peter Pan and all things pirate. We have about 4 different copies of Peter Pan books, each just slightly different from the others, and Graham has each memorized. To the extent that he informed me one day that a dog in the neighborhood was "licking his chops for more, you know like the Tick Tock Croc in Peter Pan". He is too smart for his own good! At least, the obsession is fun and for the most part, appropriate!
Graham decided very early on that he wanted to be Peter Pan for Halloween this year. So, one youth sized green shirt from Target, one pair of green pajama pants, a rope belt from one of my maternity dresses, and an authentically purchased Disney Peter Pan hat complete with a red feather later, voila, Peter Pan was ready to roll!
Initially, the plan was only to have Peter Pan represented in our house. However, after talking with some friends from church, Chris discovered that he could have access to a Captain Hook costume. This was all well and good, and Graham was thrilled to find Daddy dressed as Captain Hook!
However, Graham then turned to me and said, "Who are you going to be, Mommy?" I couldn't come up with anything fast enough (espeically since we were supposed to be leaving to trick or treat in about 10 minutes), but Chris saved the day, remembering that I had a striped maternity top. Pairing that with my non-maternity shorts allowed baby to be a part of the Mr. Smee costume as well since it is a requirement that Mr. Smee's belly hang out!
The costumes were the hit of the neighborhood and everyone loved how even baby was included...Now, what will we do next year when there are actually 4 of us?!
