Fighting for Justice!

Since the kids got to wear their costumes, I snapped some pics of them. One less thing to have to worry about Halloween night! Now, I need to explain the costumes....Landon really wanted to have matching costumes with his sister. You know...they went together like when they dressed as Darth Vador and Princess Leah. So, clear back in September when he was stressing about it, we went online to see what we could find. We start looking and he tells me that he'll just be Moe Doodle from the Doodlebops because he knows that Mackenzee will want to be DeeDee Doodle. She loves the Doodlebops and watches this childrens show every day.Yes, this is Moe Doodle. If you haven't seen the Doodlebops on Disney, be grateful. Anyway...It's a toddler show. So I was really worried that poor Landon, in his attempt to be a good brother by matching his costume to his sisters', would get made fun of when he wore his costume to school. Kids can be cruel and my Landon is awfully sensitive. It would have ruined his whole day. We did look to see if they had the costume (I was humoring him), and thankfully they don't make this costume in his size. They stop at 5T. Go figure. ;0)

So, the next step was to figure out what Landon wanted to be and try to find a costume for Mackenzee that would match it. Much easier to do it that way than the other way around. And, of course, he still wanted to be a superhero of some kind. He's 7! Of course he'd rather be a super hero than a Doodlebop! He's started to get interested in the Justice League. So, I told him to pick a hero from there and I would have Mackenzee be Wonder Woman, who is also a member of the Justice League. He chose Captain America. So, there you have it. The saga behind this years Halloween Costumes.

And don't they look adorable? The mask doesn't work so well over Landon's insanely long eyelashes, so we pulled up the mask. And Kenzee's costume did come with the awesome boots that Wonder Woman wears, but instead of coming up just under the knees, she was wearing saggy thigh boots. So, we pulled them off and put on her sparkly black shoes instead. We'll have to figure out something for her to wear under that mini skirt to keep her warm!

Yes, my children....the superheroes of Justice! Too bad it's only a costume...I could use kids who only did the right thing right about now. ;0)
