Cropadile + foam sheets + army helmet = triceratops head

It all worked out much easier than I'd anticipated. Joshua went to party last week so he's all set with a camo-motif costume, but Isaac had a different dream --- and we'd (I'd) procrastinated out of worry that I didn't understand the dream: a Griffin-Triceraops dude. We took the cropadile to an army helmet and attached a foam frill and horns. The beak is what's really awesome and they boys totally did it. (Very little work went into Joshua's costume, so he pleaded putting off homework for the satisfaction of costuming his brother). He drew a pattern with tabs and fold lines and had Isaac cut it out and sew it up. I don't know what I was planning to do, but it was nothing like this beak (and they cropadiled some eyelets for the string to hold it on).

Isaac was thrilled with the random goofiness of his costume and danced and sang Eye of the Tiger cracking us up. As he settled in to write several homework assignments, Joshua put on a mustache and goatee (with glue-dots!!! ow!) (Also, I think this might be my first photo of Joshua with his newly short hair and new glasses.)

glue dots!! Ouch! Bet it hurt when he took it off. Your kids amaze me with their creativity. Like Joshua's short hair and glasses. He looks so grown up!
