Musical Costumes

As expected, the costume didn't go over so well with Will on Halloween.
Here's how it played out:

Jane ended up in Will's spider costume at the party we attended on Friday morning:

Will not wanting to be a lady bug (after agreeing that he would be a lady bug if sister wore his spider costume)
Group shot (minus Will who is collecting himself in the corner :-)

Will being forced to wear his spider hat for a group picture

Will finally being okay with the spider hat for another picture

Just when we had decided to throw in the towel on Will getting dressed up for trick or treating, he found a bat hat circa 1986 at my parent's house around 6 pm on Halloween night. He usually hates wearing hats but decided to wear that trick-or-treating last minute in their neighborhood (Mom/Dad--I need pictures of this). Go figure.
Lesson learned: strong willed 2 year olds and forced costume wearing don't mix. Next year we'll have a 2 year old and a 3 year old, so we'll probably just forget costumes all together. Sorry to Nedra that the cute spider costume you made didn't get worn by Will. At least Jane had fun being a spider/lady bug!
