Our house was still plagued with “the sickness” on Halloween. I took a vacation day from work so that I could stay home and help Cory with the little ones. After nap time, they seemed the least congested, so we took them outside in the yard to take a few pictures. These costumes are in pristine condition, because about 20 minutes is all of the wear they experienced! Grace and Si kept looking at each other in the costumes and cracking up, how funny to see your best buddy in a crazy get up! Big Mama bought the sizes based on their age, and forgot they are only in the 10-20 percentiles…so they were swimming in them. Gracie’s belly should have came to just above her thighs, and you’ll notice it is actually around her ankles. Silas’ feet were actually where the knees of the kid should be, so when he walked (or tried to walk, the costumes were not conducive to moving in their oversized state) you could see the feet of the costume dragging behind. 
As a side story, their Papa (my dad) asked about a month ago what his little grandchildren would be for Halloween. I responded proudly “A skunk and a sea otter!” Little did I know that this would rock Papa’s world! He was flabbergasted that his little ones wouldn’t be a cowboy and princess. He very sternly indicated from here on out, he would choose the Halloween costumes. So, looks like this was my last year to have complete control!
