Happy Halloween!!!!!!
In this house, Ellie is in charge of this adorable little duo. So, following her obsession with the Disney Princesses, she picked Ariel the Little Mermaid for her own costume, and then told Matthew and I that he was going to be Flounder. She has even been calling him Flounder during play times. What a good little sport he is...one time I called his name, Matthew, and he told me, "No. Name Flounder." He was happy to oblige, and be Flounder for Halloween.
The Flounder costume proved to be a little difficult to find. Well, let me take that back. There were plenty of them on ebay, but no joke they were all selling for over $100!!! So, with my limited sewing skills I knew that I could do something for a lot less. I found a stuffed flounder for $14, cut it in half, and sewed one half to the front of a short and the other half to the back. To top it off, we made him a blue fin on his head with the help of some blue hair spray. Perfect, simple and cheap!
I had no trouble finding an Ariel costume. They are everywhere. And the creme de la creme was the long red wig. She was SO impressed with herself, but did look slightly concerned as she asked me, "mommy, is my real hair still in there somewhere?".
And no Halloween is complete without carving our pumpkin and roasting the pumpkin seeds.
Happy Halloween from Texas!!
