Olivia is a cat, just ask her. She swears she isn't a little girl, she is a cat. She will crawl around on the floor and meow, and her meow is very authentic as it has brought Vinnie running on multiple occasions. For Olivia, she was bound and determined to be a cat. That was the only costume she had talked about for quite a while. The problem came when we went costume shopping. We couldn't find a cat...anywhere. I found an absolutely adorable cat costume on Gymboree.com, but her size was sold out. The Gymboree shop at the mall didn't have her size either, I was told the costume was sold out almost immediately. As for Target, Wal-Mart, etc, neither place had a cat. They had every other animal imaginable, but no cat...and Olivia wouldn't entertain any other costume. So, our friends lent us theirs from last year and it worked well.
Sam decided early this summer he wanted to be Dash from "The Incredibles." Again, he wasn't to be budged on this idea. We found his costume on the same day we got Sofia's. Now, don't tell him, but his costume is NOT Dash, but Mr. Incredible. I am not sure why the only choice was of Mr. Incredible, but it was. Of course, since Then Incredibles all wear the same costume, it wasn't too big a deal. He was just a VERY muscular Dash. Now, he hated the mask that came with it, he kept grabbing it off of his face, so Daddy used some face makeup that I had bought for our "cat" and painted him a mask.
Drew didn't dress up this year, but he was an awesome helper during trick-or-treating. We went to our friend's neighborhood to trick-or-treat. The babies stayed in their strollers during the evening. Drew took four other kids up to each door and helped them ring doorbells and such. He did a great job and was very much appreciated by all the little kids.
