Jonathan chose to be a king this year. I sewed his robe, and edged the sleeves, hem, and neckline with gold thread. He loved that. :) We used an existing purple cape (I made it for him years ago), added a belt with a sword, and he did most of the painting/decorating of his crown. Do you see the cross on the front of the crown? That was Jonathan's idea, and very important to him. Overall, I love the way it turned out!
Remember how Thomas wanted to be Yoda? We managed it! The ears turned out a little bigger than I meant them, but they're the right shape and Thomas LOVES them. I sewed his robe from some fabric that my brother Jonathan sent from work (thank you, Uncle Jonathan!) Isn't he just the cutest Yoda you've ever seen?
Josiah was adamant that he wanted to be Darth Vader this year. Since we already had that costume, I was happy to oblige! We purchased a red light saber for him, which actually works out great because the other boys have blue and green ones and Siah wanted his very own so badly.
These photos were taken last night, just before leaving for our church's Halloween Party (a bang-up event!)
My goal this year was to create awesome costumes for a minimal cost. I ended up spending $13 (including the light saber!) and the kids were entirely happy. I'd say that's success!

Em, the Yoda helmet is AWESOME. I can barely wipe the grin off my face. I'm so glad it worked out for you all.
The costumes look great! I love those ears. Gregory was a king too (they wore their costumes to a party on Fri night)
Those costumes are great! It's so cool you can make your own - I feel a little guilty every year I purchase Eva's costume. I also love the Yoda ears, and would never have guessed they were too big. I think they're perfect!
