I don’t know about you guys, but I love Halloween. It’s become even more fun now that the boys and I can coordinate costumes. We haven’t been able to do this every year, though we often tried. And honestly, we haven’t put a whole lot of effort into building our costumes, really, until this year.
Little MrC decided he wanted to be Steven Universe. For those of you who are unfamiliar with the character, he is from a Cartoon Network show. MrC and I are both so exposed to this cartoon coz the kid watches it all.the.time, so we were super game to have it as our costume theme.
Obviously, the little boy in the photo is Steven, and the three beings (coz they aren’t exactly women) around him are the Crystal Gems. I decided right away that I wanted to be Amethyst, the purple gem. I thought that MrC would choose to be one of the other two, but I guess that wasn’t a challenging enough costume for him. Instead, he decided he would be Lion.
And so the costume shopping and DIY-ing began about two weeks before Halloween. I was honestly pretty proud of what we ended up with on Trick or Treat day! Don’t you think we look cute?
We had a great time trick or treating, and I got a new top and sneakers, too. Bonus! All in all, it was a good Halloween for us.
What did you guys dress up as last Halloween?
awesome halloween idea! i’m sure your kids love it. you’re such a sweet family. 🙂
Is it so bad that I don’t know Steven Universe? LOL! Nice family costume, Patty!
Haha no, don’t worry! Not a lot of people know him coz I think the show’s new. So it’s not so popular yet.
In Nigerian here Halloween is considered as devilish so we don’t celebrate it but some people do. Steven universe…i love the swag though.
I think I missed a lot when I decided not to join any Halloween parties. i will make up for it next year. LOL!
i wish i can have hubby wear something for the halloween too. I bet he will never leave the house if i have him wear one.
Yes you do look cute, ROFL! It actually made me laugh when I saw it.
Funny when Memphis saw your post in Facebook and said: “Ay, mum Steven Universe sila oh.” And I was like- “buti ka pa alam mo” hahaha… Nice! Well, Mike was our Captain America, Wyatt-Iron Man, Elsen was SpiderMan. 🙂 hehehe
Awww, ang kulet nyo Patty! Sana one day when I have a kid na, I will be able to convince the husband to dress up for Halloween! I never did and I never had the chance to because even when I was a kid, back at the far-flung province in Negros, there was no trick-or-treat! Boo!
Ooh I saw that pic on FB and wondered who Steven Universe was, hehe. I’m so outdated! But you guys are super cute.
