Gandalf the White

Halloween Costumes Day 13: Gandalf the White

I don't ever post on Sundays, but I decided to make an exception so that I could add in a bonus Halloween Costume this year!  I assumed that last year would be my last time doing costumes with Tarcil, but he has blessed me with another chance, and I definitely wanted to make the most of it!  So I think all of you know that I am obsessed with Tolkien's work and everything related to Middle Earth!  My husband and I have started a tradition of naming our pets after characters found in Middle Earth.  This started with Tarcil, and our dog, Beren, is the continuation of that.  Tarcil LOVES dressing up as various characters from Lord of the Rings!  The first year of Halloween costumes, Tarcil represented Rohan and Gondor.  Last year, Tarcil dressed up as Frodo.  Now, he is Gandalf.  Isn't he just so cute??!?!?  :)

Dr. Strange

Halloween Costumes Day 12: Dr. Strange

I am pretty excited to see Dr. Strange!  I have been enjoying watching the newest season of Agents of SHIELD with Ghost Rider, and I am curious to see how they are going to tie everything together!  I really enjoy the story line that Marvel is making and how they keep adding and expanding the universe of superheros.  Tarcil is just so happy that he has gotten to dress up as so many superheros this year!  He loves being the hero!  :)

Punisher

Halloween Costumes Day 11: Punisher

Tarcil doesn't know who the Punisher is, and he was a little unsure about this costume.  I mean, he is clearly too sweet looking to be a vigilante.  I guess that is just part of the fun of dressing up for Halloween.  You can pretend to be someone you aren't.  :)

Thor

Halloween Costumes Day 10: Thor

If you didn't know by now, I really like Marvel!  The movies have been so good!  Tarcil was SO excited that he got to be another superhero!  He likes pretending that he can save the world.  :)

BB-8

Halloween Costumes Day 9: BB-8

I think BB-8 was probably my favorite character of Star Wars Episode 7.  He is just so cute!!  I think the most fun part of getting this set ready was making these little star wars felt characters!  I only had time to make 2 of the 10 characters.  This kit by Aimee Ray comes with everything you need for these cuties, and you can buy it for yourself on Amazon or at Barnes and Noble!!  :)

Raphael Ninja Turtle

Halloween Costumes Day 8: Raphael Ninja Turtle

This was one of the ideas I had last year, but didn't end up making it happen.  I'm glad it worked for this year!  He looks so cute!  I couldn't come up with a set for this costume, so I asked my husband.  He suggested a pizza box, which I thought was genius!  So, here is my cute little Tarcil pretending to be a ninja turtle in a greasy pizza box.  :)

Tigger

Halloween Costumes Day 7: Tigger!

Tigger is my FAVORITE!  Tarcil dressed up as Winnie the Pooh last year, so I felt this year was the perfect opportunity to do Tigger!  I have been collecting Tigger stuffed animals for a while, and these are just about the only stuffed animals I saved from my childhood.  I think Tarcil did a great job of acting the part since he wouldn't stay in one place.  He was running around and trying to climb away the whole time I was taking pictures.  Haha!  :)
