A Seussical Halloween

This year our family theme for costumes was Dr. Seuss. This was inspired by the fact that Ryker and Ellany both adore, and frequently quote, Dr. Seuss books. I think we own every book he ever wrote! And they have all been extremely well loved and taped back together several times. :0)

Our costumes got a jumpstart because my parents already had two that we could borrow - Thing 1 & Thing 2. They only required minor adjustments. Next, my mom sewed both Ryker's Sneetch costume and Ellany's Sam I Am costume. She also helped me make Ellany's hat. I purchased the hat/bowtie/gloves for Adam's costume, we made green eggs & ham and a sign for Ellany...and we were set!

Ellany was very excited about her costume and would ask people, "Do you like green eggs and ham?". We went to the ward Trunk-or-Treat, where we won the award for best jack-o-lanterns. We took 4 pumpkins, since we each made one (except for Ryker). I have lots of fun photos to post, so decided to put them in an online album. It also includes our October visit to Magic Kingdom.
