Our Little Hobbit

I never thought I would ever attempt to make a Halloween costume. I'm not "that kind of mom" - or at least I thought so, but sometime in September I got the idea to have Kale be a hobbit for Halloween. He was running around the house with his long curls and we thought - he looks just like a hobbit! So I tried to find an costume to buy... but there wasn't anything in his size... so I improvised! I bought some fabric for the cloak, a fake gold ring, some fake fur, and found a vest at goodwill for a couple bucks and used some of his church clothes for the pants and shirt. My friend Katie helped me sew the cloak (and helped me learn to sew better in the process!- thanks katie!) and I think it turned out great!

This year was the first time Kale has gone trick or treating so it was really fun. He got the hang of it, but tired out pretty quickly so we didn't go too far... here's some pics!
