Troll Costume

This year Penelope really wanted to be a troll.  You know the doll with the jewel on its stomach?  I thought it would be pretty easy to put together and it was.  We went to a Fall Party at church and costumes were welcome so we got to test them out Friday.  I think they turned out pretty well.
So, if you need a last minute Halloween costume you could always be a troll.  All I did was get two skin colored leotards, one I borrowed and one I bought for $13.  Most Halloween stores sell them this time of year but ours was out so I went and got a nicer dance one online.  Then I bought the socks from the dollar store and hair color from walmart.  I think on both girls costumes I spent $20, not too bad and I'm planing on Penelope wearing her dance leotard many more times.  The costume would work without the skirt but I think everyone was a little more comfortable with them on.  For the jewels we  just cut out construction paper and taped it on.  They did fall of so next time I will pin them.

The hair is what everyone kept asking about.  All I did was stick an empty water bottle on top of their heads.  Then i pulled all the hair up and put a rubber band around it all on the top.  Penelope's needed one rubber band a few inches down also.  Scarlett's hair is shorter so I had to use a mini water bottle.  Then I loaded them up with hairspray and put the spray color on top.  They held up amazingly well.  Scarlett's was falling by the end of the night but that was after a car trip and lots of running around.  Penelope's stayed with no problems the entire time.  The girls both loved their hair.  I'm pretty sure that is why Penelope wanted to be a troll in the first place.

I didn't have a costume and happened to have a shirt that worked so I joined in last minute.  I felt a little silly but who cares.
I'll post about Tucker's costume tomorrow.  What are your kids being for Halloween?

Love the costumes! You could try felt instead of construction paper. It is really inexpensive and would probably stay on better :)

Hello to everyone out here, I am here to share the unexpected miracle that happened to me … My name is Susan Christian , I live in London, UK. we got married for more than 9 years and have gotten two kids. thing were going well with us and we are always happy. until one day my husband started to behave in a way i could not understand, i was very confused by the way he treat me and the kids. later that month he did not come home again and he called me that he want a divorce, i asked him what have i done wrong to deserve this from him, all he was saying is that he want a divorce that he hate me and do not want to see me again in his life, i was mad and also frustrated do not know what to do, i was sick for more than 2 weeks because of the divorce. i love him so much he was everything to me without him my life is incomplete. i told my sister and she told me to contact a spell caster, i never believe in all this spell casting of a thing. i just want to try if something will come out of it. i contacted Dr Emu for the return of my husband to me, they told me that my husband have been taken by another woman, that she cast a spell on him that is why he hate me and also want us to divorce. then they told me that they have to cast a spell on him that will make him return to me and the kids, they casted the spell and after 24 hours my husband called me and he told me that i should forgive him, he started to apologize on phone and said that he still love me that he did not know what happen to him that he left me. it was the spell that Dr Emu casted on him that make him come back to me today, me and my family are now happy again today. thank you Dr Emu for what you have done for me i would have been nothing today if not for your great spell. i want you my friends who are passing through all this kind of love problem of getting back their husband, wife , or ex boyfriend and girlfriend to contact Dr Emu , if you need his help you can contact him through his private mail: emutemple@gmail.com or you can contact him through his website https://emutemple.wordpress.com/ fb page Https://web.facebook.com/Emu-Temple-104891335203341
