This is Talia’s first Halloween (her birthday is tomorrow) I wanted to make something that would play off her glasses hence the raccoon. Of course since I conceptualized the costume she got new glasses but I put her in the old ones just for the sake of the costume. Simon originally wanted to be a shark but I have no idea how to make that so I gently steered him towards the fox (this is probably the last year I will be able to get away with that).
In years past Simon has been an Octopus, an Owl, and a Turtle
The owl is by far his most popular costume, I still get emails about “how to make it” (it was a lot of trail in error, I actaully made the body over twice!)
But my favorite photo is the turtle rolled over on his back – so funny!
what were your kids this year?

These are just stunning shots! The cutest fox and racoon I have ever seen. xox
I adore the shot of their tails sitting together on the log. So cute! Great job, Emily. Remember how one year ago today you were hoping that baby would not be born on Halloween? 🙂
oh my gosh, how cute. Always love your costumes.
Love. Love. Love snapshots of your kids for their Halloween!!
I have followed your blog for the past two years and I always look forward to your Halloween posts. This one definitely takes the cake! Your children and your costumes are adorable!
thank you so much Kerry! you are too kind!
You have the most adorable home made costumes!! I love them all! Thanks for sharing.
Love these pics. I’m big into costumes for my baby daughter, too. So much fun.
I would LOVE to know how you made the raccoon costume! I have been looking for two just like it for next year (trying to get in on the after Halloween costume discounts). My twin girls are going to be the twin lost boy raccoons from Peter Pan next year with Mom as Wendy and Dad as Peter Pan. Can you tell me if you used a pattern of made one of your own??
I used a generic cat/dog costume pattern from Jo-Ann’s and just made the tail and ears like a raccoon.
