Owen wanted to go as Steve from Minecraft. not my first choice, but he owned it and was excited, and that's what really matters. The books, although more handbooks for the video game, at least keep the boys engaged and interested in reading.
He didn't want a head made, thank goodness, so he helped make a sword and pickaxe and we he was good to go.
It was no surprise that Ben wanted to go as Pete the Cat. I made him a simple hat and heart for his shirt and then found a speech bubble image online, printed on card stock and had him write "I love my RED shoes" on it. His shoes are red!
He woke up sick and throwing up this morning and didn't go to school. He said, "I want to try" and got dressed and I just couldn't bring myself to let him him go. Thank goodness he stayed home, I'm thinking he may have a 24hr virus, poor guy!
