We've decided to have a family theme again this year. Ayden will be Batman, Ian is Robin, Afton and I will be bats, and Josh will be The Penguin. I took these pictures with Afton on my hip, so please forgive the quality, but you get the idea. I made her wings and ears from crepe paper and floral wire. I got the idea HERE except I used hot glue because I couldn't find a glue stick. You can NOT use Elmers glue on the crepe paper. I learned the hard way, that the wet glue turns the paper into black gooey mush. I bought black elastic to fit the wings on her "back pack" style. The ears are safety pinned to her black headband I made from knee highs. What you can't see, are her chubby legs in black stockings with black platinum Mary Janes. She's a doll! I can't wait to show her off. I'm making THIS for myself and I have a cool bat shirt. Josh will just wear his black suit and I'll make a purple bowtie and get a top hat. Only one week left until the big day!!! I love Halloween.

You're so awesome Stace. I love seeing the stuff you do. Afton looks great! I wish I was closer so you could motivate me to do arts and crafts too. I've just been lame lately. I bought Chloe's outfit!
Oh Wow! That is just...wow!
Im not scared of that bat
Very cute! Elodie is going to be a peacock and Addysen is going to be a ladybug. We love Halloween too.
Love those bat wings! Afton is adorable!
That's one chubby little bat:) she looks adorable. When I clicked in the link for your costume I thought I was going to see Halle berry in her sexy cat outfit or uma in her poison ivy. Guess you aren't feelin that?? Haha!!
what an adorable bat! guess this one won't be sucking anyone's blood...just caught up on some posts, ayden is TALL! ian poses so perfectly for pictures, and afton is such a gorgeous little baby girl! but the parents...not really sure WHAT they look like, lol! we love you guys.
How cute! She looks great in black btw. How crafty!
Go Stac, if you entered a costume contest as a fam you would place right up there in the bellfree. The batty headband is cleaver, I wanna see chubby Afton's whole body in outfit. Hope you do a fam photo. By the way we found a pic of mom while cleaning house when she was a sophmore in hs. Marilyn is making a copy, then I'll see to it you kids get one, 1935ish - so cute of her and the real sepia.
Here is a tutorial to make a top hat for Josh, from my favorite crafting/DIY website:

It is actually for the Mad Hatter form Alice in Wonderland, but you can adjust as you need for The Penguine.
