The pictures of both kids were taken on Friday before the school party.
The pictures of Conner alone were taken a little earlier in the week before I shortened the horns and added the claws on the hands and feet.
Her outfit is just a large tee & pants from Old Navy. I knew she wouldn't put up with the whole expanded Boo costume (when she is being smuggled around the factory) so we just went with the Boo pajamas, put her hair in pigtails & called her Boo. It's her favorite word to say right now!
Conner's costume was a little more work. I took turquoise fuzzy fleece and appliqued purple fuzzy fleece spots all over it. I used the wrong side of the fabric for the contrast tummy panel. It was a "simple" monster pattern that I adapted for our purposes (added the horns, changed the tail shape, added extra scales on the back).
His gray felt scales went down the hood, down the back seam, and tail. I also added some claws on the feet and hands (which you can see better in the last picture). The pattern didn't call for it, but I added elastic straps to go under his feet as well.
The sweetest Monster I know...
Happy Halloween to everyone!
So cute!!!
