Whale of a Good Costume

Due to a broken camera I had no pictures of my own to post from Halloween!
A friend just sent some to me and now I can post the kids out trick-or-treating in their costumes. I have to admit, Anders costume looks fabulous considering I was certain it was going to be a fiasco. Anna ambitiously worked for weeks with Anders and the costume morphed a few times into this final and lovely great blue whale. They even worked it out so that candy could be easily dropped into the mouth of the whale. Kuba, as you can see, is dressed in a really simple monkey costume that I made out of a brown fleece pant and jacket set with cute monkey ears and a long monkey tail...it was simple and sort of looks that way in these photos. But...the good part was that it was really easy for him to walk around in...Anders had a bit of a hard time making his way onto porches, etc.
But who cares about that if you look that good as a whale?
