I had so many ideas for costumes. Then when I was sick on my death bed, watching Peter Pan with the twins, I thought about how much Peter Pan looks like Merrick, well, at least the red hair and all... so when I was weak but somewhat better the next day, I went off to JoAnn's with a dream... and my friend Megan, who talked me out of buying WAY more than I needed.
I got a little inspiration from here.. but decided to change it up and make it my own.
I was dying for the tink shoes. I love them. I would wear them if they were my size, but I couldn't find ones that were cute. Everything has pictures of Tink on it. That is so commercialized, and I just wanted the shoes. So I took a pair of Berk's old SUNDAY shoes from last year, that fit (barely) but were all scuffed up. I modpodged the green fabric onto them and added the pom poms. My favorite part of the outfit!

I also made her wings from scratch out of hangers and old white knee highs..

Merrick was less excited about our photo shoot and more excited to "det Taptian Hook". So I didn't get as many pictures of him... but isn't he the most handsome Peter Pan you have ever seen?

Can't wait to Trick or Treat!!!

They look adorable! Wish I had your talent. I just buy last years costumes (really cheap--five bucks for Blake's Peter Pan) and call it good. Your homemade costumes are adorable, though. Love the shoes.
Way to go Jen. I wish I was the kind of Mom that makes different costumes for her kiddos every year. Mine get handy-downs. Tallon is going to be a pirate (same as last year) and desi will be a monkey(because the costume fits her this year). You need to show me this a couple of weeks in advance so I get inspired to do something bigger. Merricks hat is my favorite part!
so cute Jen! and even more impressive that you only spent $10!
