A couple of months before Halloween I was trying to think of costumes I could dress the girls up in for Halloween. I didn't want 2 totally random costumes, I wanted them to be coordinating. All of the twin costumes I found were 2 peas in a pod, Thing 1 & Thing 2, etc. I really wasnt that excited about the ones I found so I asked one of my best friends, Kristen and she came up with the brilliant idea of dressing the girls up as Glinda & Elphaba from Wicked. I thought this was a genius idea but thought it would be to hard to pull off because in the show Elphaba's skin in painted green and I obviously wasn't going to paint Sophie's skin. :) I looked online and there were no baby Wicked costumes to be found. I kind of did my own version by making the girls each a tutu and a wand and then finding a little minature witches hat and a little princess crown. I thought that their costumes actually came out super cute!!
We took the girls to our ward trunk or treat and everyone LOVED their costumes. They obviously had no idea what was going on, but they were having fun just being outside in the nice weather and being surrounded by a bunch of kids.
Overall I would say this Halloween was a success, but I can totally see why a lot of moms hate this holiday! Now it is time to start thinking of next years costumes!
