Peter Pan has been VERY POPULAR in this household lately. The boys love watching the disney movie and also Hook. They spend many hours fighting with swords, killing alligators and pirates, and having food fights--(fair warning if you come to dine with us!).One of my FAVORITE routines right now are the bedtime rituals...Max either wants to swim or fly like peter pan into his bed. When he swims, we carry him so he is facing the ceiling and he moves his arms like he is swimming in the air (like in the movie Hook). We are suppose to move according to his strokes: big strokes make him supposedly fly faster and we have to move as smoothly and quickly as we can up the stairs in a stroke-like manner, and of course we can relax a bit with his smaller strokes. We are also required to make water swishing noises to compliment his stroke patterns. It is so hilarious, and we all end up laughing our heads off. Justin flies on my back and we usually end up crashing somewhere. Oh, the memories!
So you may well imagine what they wanted to be for Halloween!
I figured that since Peter Pan didn't have a mother, Justin should make his own costume. He did a FABULOUS job (with a little help) ....what a creative mind he has! Of course he knew just exactly how he wanted it!
Max was a NATURAL--WILD INDIAN! (Loin cloth, compliments of Justin's ingenuity and our washcloths & clothespins).
And WaLA...Welcome to Neverland!

These costume choices really do fit the personalities!
Thanks for the picture of Peter Pan. It looks like the original!! Sorry Max, as cute as you are, your costume just looks kinda "cold" to me!!
What fun you guys have!! Wish you were closer.....
Bedtime sure sounds fun! We used to line the kids up and sing "hi ho. Hi ho. It's off to bed we go!"
The costumes are great. I love the Indian's belly!
