Mr. One and Mr. Two are very much obsessed with Star Wars right now. I attempted to get them excited about a different theme this year, but Mr. One was adamant about wanting to be Luke Skywalker. I was not too thrilled with this idea, especially considering that my children had not even seen the movies. Then the idea started to grow on me. I found several tutorials online and lots of images through Google image searches (thank you internet!), found lots of materials at thrift stores and on sale at fabric stores, and got really excited about the whole project. After a few weeks of wading through yards of polyester and jersey knit sheets, we had a Star Wars family!
May the force be with you! In case you couldn't tell, Mike is Han Solo, I am Princess Leia, Mr. One is Luke Skywalker, Mr. Two is Obi-Wan (Ben) Kenobi, Mr. Three is the cutest Yoda I've ever seen, and Mr. Four is R2-D2.
Here is another close up of R2. Mike hand stenciled and painted his onsie and hat. Oh yeah, I am super lucky to have a creative husband!
Here's Mike's sketch and the carved pumpkin.
Darth Pumpkin was quite the scary site on Halloween. Again, Mike is our talented pumpkin carver. He loves doing this each year, which is good, because I really dislike carving pumpkins, but the kids love it.
While I was at Time Out for Women this Saturday with my Mom, Aunt and sisters, they also worked on Sharkie and watched "It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown". Mike even roasted some sweet and savory pumpkin seeds. Aren't the teeth so fantastic?!
After all the women came back from Time Out, we watched Star Wars episode IV at my parent's house on their big flat screen TV with surround sound. The boys were totally mesmerized and loved it all. Mr. Three kept shouting out our names when the characters we dressed as came on screen. Thank goodness he wasn't disappointed that Yoda didn't make it into the first movie. Now I am going to hear about Star Wars non-stop for a while now...
Wow - those costumes are awesome and those pumpkins are pretty amazing! I'm glad to hear I'm not the only one who doesn't really enjoy carving pumpkins. I do like looking at them afterwards though. I love the R2D2 hat, I've been seeing that around pinterest and it's adorable! I can't believe how different Mr. 4 looks all of a sudden. I'm not sure why, but he looks so much older. I hope you had a happy halloween!
