The Flash

Day 2

I knew as soon as I decided to make costumes for my hamster, that I would have to do the Flash.  I guess I like the similarities between the Flash's superhuman capabilities to move quickly and what it looks like to watch a hamster move around.  Haha.  Ironically, Tarcil barely moved when I put him in this costume.  He instead just sat there and cleaned his little face which was so cute that I couldn't possibly be disappointed with him.  :)

My Little Pumpkin!

So I decided to get in the spirit of Halloween by making costumes for Tarcil!  I actually came up with this idea a couple weeks ago.  I started by making a list of characters I wanted to dress him up as.  Then after some sketches, I made a list of all the materials I would need.  I purchased the materials, and I have been spending my evenings creating the costumes.  I didn't think it would take me very long to do, but as I was making the ones on my list, I thought of new ideas that would be fairly easy to make.  I also got some suggestions from my family.  So what started out as just two or three ideas grew to a dozen.

My idea is that I will post pictures of Tarcil in a different costume each day starting today and ending on Halloween.  I hope you enjoy this project I have been working on!  I had so much fun doing this!  And I think Tarcil likes this too.  :)

Tarcil was very interested in sniffing and trying to eat the leaves.  This was probably his first time ever seeing them before.  He had a lot of fun!!  :)

Tarcil and Penny

I love spending time each evening with my fuzzy little guy!  Penny gets super jealous and tries to stay as close to me as possible as you can see.  I seriously love these two so much!  :)

Tarcil's tongue

Do you see his little tongue?!?  He always gives me that same look when I take pictures of him while he is drinking.  He definitely likes his privacy.  :)

Tarcil in a Toilet Paper Roll

Tarcil loves playing in toilet paper rolls!  He climbs through them or he chews them up.  I always keep a couple in his tank for him.  :)

Tarcil in a Sock

I discovered that Tarcil enjoys being in socks.

After going in and out of the sock while he explored it, he finally went in and stayed it.  Before I knew it, he wasn't moving.  At first I got a little nervous, but I quickly realized that he was trying to sleep.  Seriously, how cute is that?!?  :)

Tarcil Drinking

Tarcil doesn't like when I spy on him and take pictures of him while he is getting a drink, but I couldn't help myself!  He was biting the side of the spout and seemed to wonder why he wasn't getting any water.  It was adorable!!
