Costumes

For Halloween this year, Claire insisted on being a polar bear (her favorite animal). For days, I tried to convince her to be a pirate because I thought it would be cute if everyone were pirates. I told her she could say "aargh!", pass out chocolate covered coins, carry her treasure chest, etc. She would not go for it. So, I finally gave in and purchased her polar bear costume. I searched around for something that Ethan could be that would coordinate with her and the only option was a penguin. Done. A few days later, Erik's Mom called me and said there was a seal costume for little dogs at Target. How perfect! Our little Arctic Monsters, as we called them, were ready for Halloween.
