Well, I got one
more year out of coordinating costumes and I MIGHT have scored an
additional year in 2018 just because they realized what fun it was to
have a theme! HA! This year, we started going through all of the
"what can brothers be for Halloween?" ideas and landed on
Top Gun characters, Goose and Maverick. James and Will haven't ever
seen the movie Top Gun, but we explained a little about it and let
them watch a few clips from the movie just for fun.
These were the
easiest costumes we've ever had before. Literally hopped on Amazon
and clicked and ordered. They were a cinch. I did buy Will's first
one too small so I have an extra, but other than that I didn't have
to lift a finger.
The boys realized
this year what FUN Halloween costumes can be and that you can have a
super clever costume that people think is really cool. Some friends
of ours (who are a little older at almost 9, 11, and 13) were
Lieutenant Dan, Jenny, and Forrest Gump. People went CRAZY when they
saw their costumes, but they were so simple and just fun! It lit a
fire under James and Will and they have already declared what next
year will bring. We'll see if they stick with it or not, but if they
go as their current idea, it will be pretty fun!
