1. A few months ago Scott's favorite word was "Mine" and Bridget suggested dressing him as a seagull and Mark in a complimentary fashion as a seashell, or sailor, or merman. I like that idea a lot, but now Scott says so many words.
2. I have an adorable chili pepper costume Karen gave us that doubles as a winter baby warmer, and I thought about making Scott a mariachi.
3. We also have this incredible pair of authentic lederhoesen that Luke's grandmother brought baby Luke from Germany and that look ADORABLE on Wagner boys.
4. But our 4 and 5 year old neighbors had the winning suggestion: the Mario Brothers. It seems perfect for a tech-y, nerdy Halloween party and -- BONUS -- I get to draw little fake mustaches on the boys. I. Love. Fake. Mustaches. (reference: my past several Halloween costumes)
Now I just need to figure out how to make those hats. Any ideas??

My answer to any sort of halloween-making problem is always to use felt, and I actually found these directions when I googled it: http://www.groovykidstuff.com/?p=167 But it looks like lots of people just use red or green hats and glue the M or L on it, if that seems like a lot of work: http://www.coolest-homemade-costumes.com/mario-and-luigi-costumes.html .
Excellent website find, Bridget! Felt hat for Scott for sure ... Mark may just get an M stuck on his newborn red stocking cap, with little no-scratch mittens instead of white gloves. A baby Mario will be funny.
LOVE the costume ideas - can't wait to see pictures of the final results! Max will be a bee this year because we have a bee-striped swaddling blanket (that he's too big for with his 17 lbs, of course...) and a coordinating bee hat (he hates hats). Should be fun! :)
Does that mean Luke will dress up as Koopa or Mushroom? And of course you must be Princess Peach!
