This year we went with the Wizard of Oz theme. Oliver was the lion, Nolan was the tin man, and Lucas was the scare crow. Daddy and I dressed up as the wizard and Dorothy (respectively). I have to say, I'm rather proud of my ability to get our costumes on a budget. Halloween costumes these days are outrageously priced. There was no way I was going to spend $40 per costume. So I sought out used costumes. I ended up getting Oliver's on eBay, Nolan's on a local swap shop, and Lucas' was so generously given to us by a fellow mom of multiples. I ended up getting all three costumes for $25. My costume was borrowed from a former coworker and James' was pieced together with items we already had. He just had to buy a fairly inexpensive top hat.
In the end, I think we looked pretty fabulous. Not only did we put it all together on a budget, but we certainly got our money's worth by wearing them so much. The boys dressed up for the Maple Leaf Fest in Baldwin City, a Trunk or Treat event with our multiples group, and actual Halloween (which included trick or treating at Daddy's work that morning, going to the annual costume parade at my former school, and trick or treating that night).
Here are some pictures:
