Halloween 2011

We had such and awesome day yesterday. I took the kids to two different Library's parties and we got together with my sister and her kids and our friend, Missy, and my brother and other sister, to go trick-or-treating. We all had a fun time. I always make Lilly's costumes. Last year my hands were a little too full to make 3 costumes, but this year, the babies can entertain themselves alot more so I got to sewing. I was going to go for something more simple, but Lilly wanted to be Rapunzel and I sort of wanted a theme. So I just did a Disney theme. I found both Bella's and Tristan's costume tutorials on Pinterest from two different blogs, and Lilly's I just made up by looking at the movie. People say I should have done Bella as Cinderella or Tristan as the Beast but I'm OK not having them be love interests, just like when naming them I didn't want to go with Tristan and Isolde (kinda weird). Lilly loved her dress so much and Bella liked hers but poor Tristan kept crying when I put his on. I realized soon after, why this was. One day, while fitting Bella's dress to see what needed to be tweaked, he wanted to try it on after her, putting his arms out and fussing. Of coarse, being bigger, I could only put the sleeves over his arms. But he was so happy. He had the biggest grin on his face. So days later, when all the costumes were finished, I put Bella in hers and as I went to put his on, he cried. Once I let him free, I watched and followed him to discover him chasing Bella down. I then understood what his problem was; he preferred her sparkly bright yellow dress to his costume and thought I had put the wrong ones on them. Luckily, by Halloween he had come to terms with it all and was such a handsome prince, ready to protect his princess sisters.
