Landon's favorite show lately is Jake and the Neverland Pirates -- so we decided a pirate costume would be a great Halloween costume for him (or so we thought anyway). So I went to Joann Fabrics, Hancock Fabrics, and Hobby Lobby to buy a pattern (Simplicity 2561) and fabric and got to work making the fabric.
For all the time I spent running to three stores just to get the necessary fabric and then making the costume, Landon was not very appreciative. In fact, he wanted nothing to do with the costume. I had to bribe him with a tootsie roll sucker just to get a couple of pictures.
For a brief moment we almost were able to get a smile out of him.
But by the second house he stripped off his jacket.
And by the third house he ditched his hat.
But at least he kept his pants on for most of the night, and we were able to snap a few cute pictures. On a positive note, he thoroughly enjoyed trick or treating and especially loved riding in his wagon while his Nonny pulled him.
Maybe next year he'll be more in the Halloween costume spirit.
