Deep Sea Diving

It all started a couple of months ago when Caleb asked Ben how much a submarine costs.  He had decided earlier in the day that he wanted to drive one when he grows up.  After explaining that they are very expensive Caleb promptly told me, "Mom.  I can't spend any more of my money buying icees at Target.  I need to save all of my money up for a long time so I can buy a submarine."   (Isn't it incredible how he has a long term saving plan already????  Ha!) 

So when I asked Caleb what kind of costume I could make him last week he quickly suggested scuba diver.  So that is what we did.  It was a very inexpensive option with the base of the costume completely reusable for the rest of the winter.  Awesome!

The boys dressed up in their costumes to give out candy yesterday.  They had a blast!  We encouraged them to give generously (and in return we let them eat a bunch of candy while they were doing it.)  It was a fun night! 

Without further ado, here are my little Scuba men:

Looks like he found a treasure while he was under the sea--two bags of skittles!

And here is my little pumpkin man.  I didn't make him a matching costume (though I was tempted) but isn't he so cute?  He melts my heart!
