Halloween reminiscing

As we completed Halloween costumes tonight, Solomon asked what his costume was when he was a baby. The truth is that he was brand new and tiny at his first Halloween, lying in a little light-up bed fighting jaundice and the billirubin count. I don't think that counts as a costume, but we have a photo of him in a bear hat next to a jack-o-lantern. He is yellow. The pumpkin is orange.

I love making costumes for my kids. I love that they make costumes themselves now, too. And, of course, we use a lot of felt.

Here are a few of my favorites from over the years, in no particular order.
