Emmett's costume was quite a challenge. It was actually Matt's idea to make Emmett into the Lorax. He has the perfect body shape and little button nose, that the Lorax just fit him. There is no pattern in existence (as far as I know...believe me, I hunted EVERYWHERE for one!), so I created one from a pumpkin costume pattern and some doll hair from the dollar store. It took a long time, but I am happy with how it turned out. Halloween ended up being a 3 day party this year. Holy cow! Emmett went to my mom's school carnival, ISU trunk-or-treat and our church's trunk-or-treat. He made a haul on candy and guess who ate 90% of it? um me! I have a real problem when it comes to candy in the house.. hence the reason we don't keep it stocked up! Anyways the binky has been a good laugh in our family. Pretty creative eh?
Halloween wiped him out!
