It was Owen's turn to decide on our family costumes this year, and he requested Thomas the Train! I knew this would be a significant undertaking, especially while being sick and pregnant, so I started making our trains back in June. I worked on them a little bit at a time, slow and steady. The kids helped me paint all the accessory pieces over the summer, and sure enough, they were ready by October! This was a really fun, creative project for me and a BIG win for Owen. It's safe to say, we made his Halloween dreams come true! We were all happy to be "very useful engines".
Don: Sir Topham Hatt
Me: Nia
Auggie: Troublesome Truck
Owen: Bruno the Brake Car
Ginny: Purple Thomas Onesie
Auggie didn't want to be a train for his school parade day, so we got him a Legolas costume. And yeees, he wants to do Lord of the Rings next Halloween...I can only hope he feels the same way in a year!
