We took Iain to a trunk-or-treat party on Wednesday night, and being the frugal mama that I am, I decided to make Iain's halloween costume. He is a train-- and a very sad one-- if you can't tell from the pictures.
He actually refused to wear this costume on Wednesday, so we transitioned to a backup. Iain the builder!
Here he is wearing a fireman's hat that they gave him that night. Costume # 3! It was at about this point, while admiring the candy haul, that Iain decided dressing up was ok.
So on Friday he wore his costume without too much complaint.
This was our first time taking Iain trick or treating, and it was such a blessing. I wanted to have a child for so long-- it is such a joy to get to do kid stuff with our son. He did very well saying thank you to everyone. We had dinner with our friend Melody and then walked around the block trick or treating. We all had a really nice time.

those beautiful brown eyes are a PERFECT reason to celebrate with costume, candy, and friends. :) he's adorable. i was just thinking how i miss the days of homemade costumes. there was such a simplicity and FUN in figuring out how creative you can be. next year i want to either make seth's costume or help him to make one. i think your train is adorable and creative.
A darling costume for a darling boy. Looks like you ALL had a fun time!
Hi Jordan! Iain looks adorable! You did a great job on his costume!
What a cute costume! Way to go frugal mama. :-) My parents made me the coolest crayon costume one year out of cardboard. I loved it except that because it was basically a head-to-toe splint, I couldn't walk up the stairs onto the stage at school for the Halloween parade. It was a minor setback.
