The kids had their costumes and were ready to go as soon as school was out. Cousin Adam joined them on their 4-hour tour, which included the Fibre Federal Credit Union, the Lilac Street neighborhood, Papa Ken and Bev, Grandpa Richard, Grandma Cindy, Uncle Dave and Aunt Charolette, Uncle Alan and Aunt Vera, Uncle Steve and Aunt Dianne, Uncle Dave and Aunt Laury, Aunt Julie, Uncle Dan and Aunt Robin, and Grannie and Papa Woodruff. We had some deliriously tired (but very happy) kids when it was all done!
Jillian knew she wanted a Princess Leia costume for a long time, and was thrilled to finally get it, but she was torn about the hair ... she wasn't too keen on the two large buns on the sides. After watching the Star Wars movie again, she decided on a slightly different bun-look that suited her more (and it was Mommy to the rescue, after buying a bun-maker and watching some YouTube tutorials).
Bridget didn't know what she wanted, even at the costume store. It took a while, but she found the "Dream Catcher Cutie" costume, and after trying it on, looked so cute in it and received lots of oohs and ahhs from everyone ... so that sold her.
Tor was initially going to be a Star Wars character (first Darth Vader, then Luke Skywalker), but when we went to Halloween City to look for costumes, he found a Batman costume that fit perfectly. He pretty much forgot about Star Wars, and focused on his superhero kicks and punches.
