This was the first halloween when my girls didn't choose coordinating costumes and at first I was kind of sad - I knew this was coming, but still I loved the pictures that went so nicely together! But when they had settled on these costumes, I couldn't have been more thrilled because what they picked were both so perfect for them!
Jillian started off this summer saying she couldn't wait to be a Unicorn. I was not sure how easy that was going to be to pull off until she and I were shopping for Meredith's birthday and we came across a aisle of clearance costumes at Party City. And lo-and-behold - there was a super cheap unicorn costume that she fell in love with! I at first wondered if she would change her mind, but realized that with as much as it was discounted, I couldn't go wrong even if she did switch! As we were about to walk out, I saw a Betsy Ross costume hanging there. Meredith loves history and had been reading about Betsy Ross, so I decided to take a chance on this one, too. And she loved it as much as Jillian loved the Unicorn!
Betsy Ross and her Unicorn!
Meredith's one request was that we make her a bag for her candy that would look just like Betsy's flag - complete with a needle so she could pretend to sew it. She planned every last detail of the bag and it was perfect! Jillian soon requested a bag too - one that would hold her stuffed unicorn and have a gold sparkly unicorn on the front. These girls have a keen eye for design!
Here are the finished bags - I was pretty proud and the girls were super excited!
