Trick or Treat

Max is a dinosaur (and please do not let him hear you call him a monster) and Wyatt is a monster (he does not care what you call him as long as there is candy and food involved).
Lauren made the costumes (see Wyatt's shadow?) and she made Max's first.
I secretly hoped that Wyatt's costume would look like Rodan, Mothra or Gamera the flying turtle, but that didn't happen.
They both looked awesome.

  2. FABULOUS!! Now see, I'm sure Lauren could have easily made Nathan's elephant costume, but I have no skills of that sort so I paid $15 for it at Marshalls.

  19. The costumes look awesome - great job, Lauren! My mom made all of my halloween costumes when I was a kid - homemade ones are so much better than store bought costumes!

    Any chance she will open a Lauren's Secrets department so that I may order costumes for my wife?

  31. Lauren--you are amazing!

    I ran out of ideas (and her froggy sleeper was in the wash) and since Katrina was just going to be handing out candy with me, I put her in a blue sleeper and we called her a boy....
