The Shrek Family. 
Meaning Shrek and Fiona. We went to a costume party tonight at the church. Ken and I won first place!!! The crowd cheered for us, but that really wasn't the best part. The best was when little kids were coming up to us saying things like, "Hi Shrek!", "Hi Fiona!", "Shrek is here for you" (when we were separated) "I think Shrek likes you", "Where is Donkey?" "Why is your baby Superman?" (the answer of course, it's Halloween and that's what he wanted to dress up as, normally he's an ogre). And the teenager who told Shrek he made a good Shrek "'cause he was like big and everything."
The girls had fun. Luci said her favorite part was the line, meaning the little costume parade they had. Grace said her favorite part was playing with Chloe, a friend from preschool. Here are more fun pictures.

And the teenager who told Shrek he made a good Shrek "'cause he was like big and everything."Unfortunately Grace and Luci didn't win the costume contest (Grace really wanted to), but she did win a door prise. If you couldn't tell, Grace is Wonder Woman and Luci is Super Why! Super Why is a super reader. He is the star character of a new PBS show SUPER WHY! . HOME PBS KIDS. The girls love it and it is quite educational. Is it ok that Luci went as a boy? I tried convincing her she could be a girl super why and wear a green ballerina outfit. She wouldn't have it, and she loves the the costume. Daniel of course is Super Man...hand me down pajamas through both girls. Is that just cruel?
I had fun making all the costumes (I just the horns on Shrek) and must give props to Grandma Lolly for helping with the capes, downsizing the dress a little, and the great idea to just put socks over Grace's boots to make them red. I used the same trick for Daniel's. Thanks!

you know twenty years from now you and the kids will be sitting around and they will say you were so lame for making their costumes. if they forget to bring it up i will be sure to remind them.
But they think I'm way cool now.
Great idea for a couples costume! And I love your Wonder Woman. I saw one tonight and immediately though, "I think next year the girls will be superheros". Super Why is a big hit at our house too.
