Every year, the elementary school has *Dress Like Storybook Character* Day on Halloween, so I usually try to create their Halloween costumes around the storybook character of their choice. They have a parade at the school and the kids carry the storybook with them.
Wilson wanted to be Mighty Casey at the Bat. He didn't like the mustache or the *muscles* we put on him. He kept saying, "No one wants to see me with muscles!" I insisted though, because without the muscles or mustache he was just an ordinary baseball player.
Maisy wanted to be Kirsten: An American Girl. In the book, Kirsten is a pioneer who comes on a boat from Sweden and then travels to Minnesota to settle with her family. All week long she has been asking us to just call her Kirsten, please.
Ace didn't have much say in what his costume would be. He got to be a Chocolate Chip Cookie from If You Give a Mouse a Cookie. He does like that book and he liked his costume okay too.
We had a Halloween Party this year. We made Haunted Gingerbread House! Very spooky!
Even spookier--our friend that dressed up like He Who Must Not Be Named
We had sooo much fun trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. It's such a fun place! Everyone comes out and sits on their porches or driveways to hand out candy. It's a very festive atmosphere. We love and hope to celebrate many more Halloween's right here.
Happy Halloween!

This is a very happy post, and I LOVE your children's costumes. Did you make the chocolate chip cookie costume? And the Kirsten outfit? Oh, so precious . . . (but I do not like the creepy Voldemort outfit!). :)
Great costumes! I love that they're from books and not movies. :)
Happy Halloween Gustavesons! Good job on the costumes--your friend Voldemort is SCARY!!!
I love their costumes! They turned out so cute and yes, the Voldemort is FREAKY!
You are so cute Kasia. I love all those costumes. We called our daughter Kirsten all week too...That is such a cute costume idea I'm going to try to talk her into being that next year.
