Sebastian and Julia who dressed up as ...
Julia and Sebastian.
They both struggled with getting into true character. Faux-Sebastian's "toenail huwt" apparently. Or was this when he-she was still waking up from the nap that ended 47 minutes earlier? All the pleasant blurs together.
I'd say trick-or-treating was 45% successful. Of the six houses we hit Julia successfully waltzed into one and perched herself in front of the big screen tv, tried walking into two others but was stopped by "where do you think you're going, little fella?", and eventually just dropped her bucket-o-treats at the stoop of the last three houses and walked away as her understanding of the entire process clearly matured. And because Sebastian just sat pretty in his pink umbrella stroller the entire time, everyone just thought Julia was a not very smart little boy with a shaggy half-mullet who was not even kind of in costume.
Maybe we'll try again when real-Sebastian is five.

This is the greatest thing I've ever seen! They are the cutest, great idea Grace!
ReplyDeleteAnd I'll stop commenting on everything now.
DeleteOkay, this is so freaking awesome.
ReplyDeleteCutest idea ever... I couldn't help laughing.
ReplyDeleteAHAHAHA..... this just made my day!! Halloween in NJ was officially postponed by our governor because of Hurricane Sandy, so thank you for letting me live Ryder's first Halloween vicariously through you.
ReplyDeletep.s. sebastian looks like a miniature grace in these pictures!!
Real Bash is going to kill you some day! Until then, it looks like fake Bash will. So funny!
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, this is fantastic! What a great idea!!
ReplyDeleteSo brilliant - that bow cracks me up!!
ReplyDeletefreakin hilarious. costumes should def be chosen for parental entertainment, right?
ReplyDeleteDo I even have to tell you that Joey busted into an unsuspecting living room lulled by the glow of a real, live tv too? No? Didn't think so.
ReplyDeleteBasher rocks those jeggings like Jagger.
This is genius!! Best costumes ever!
ReplyDeleteAhhhhh hahahahaha! I can't decide who did cross-dressing best, JDel/Reed or Julia/Sebastian. Love.
ReplyDeleteAhh thank you! Love love love your chillens. They couldn't be any cuter!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious!
ReplyDeleteBahahahaha so funny! They look like they enjoyed it :-/ makes it all the more enjoyable for us parents!!!!
ReplyDeleteHilarious. I can't wait until they're adults and you pull out those pictures.
ReplyDeleteLove it. Are they the same size as each other in everything? Maybe you'll have an extra extra fat baby and next year you can do this with the three of them!
ReplyDeleteAre you kidding?! Best costumes ever! This is amazing. I looked at the pictures before I read and was slightly confused by how quickly Sebastian had grown, but my only experience with babies is Modern Family, and Lily aged about 4 years in 3 months so I figured it was normal.
ReplyDeleteIf I wasn't completely against abbreviations, I would fill this box with a bazillion laugh out louds (see? Can't even do it there...), because that's all I could do for the first fifteen minutes - couldn't even read a thing. Then the captions sent me over. Bravo, Grace. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteToo funny! I mean, hello, did no one see the bow? Also, it seems like Julia made some new friends while out on the candy trail! Maybe they'll invite her over for a game watch :-)
ReplyDeleteI just died laughing!!! That bow was HILARIOUS! When he's about 13, he will kill you......!
ReplyDeleteHouse entry is the worst. Well, almost. In his excitement at one house my son yelled out, "happy birthday!" And then my daughter asked the 100 year old lady, "are you very old?"
ReplyDeletehaha! this is the funniest thing I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteoh.my.goodness. THIS IS FANTASTIC!
ReplyDeleteThat is hilarious. Funniest thing ever!
ReplyDeleteI just died laughing at this.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!!! Love it!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE IT!! You're too funny. :)
ReplyDeleteoh my goodness; they are so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteI had to wipe my eyes after that laugh. These are clearly the best halloween costumes I've ever seen.
ReplyDeleteThis made me so happy. Best thing I've seen all week. Maybe all month.
ReplyDeleteHAHAHAHA. I laughed, a lot.
ReplyDeleteI love this so much.
ReplyDeleteNext year's costume conundrum solved! You don't mind if I "borrow" your idea, do you? :)
ReplyDeleteAdorable!
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. At first I was like, "huh? they're not wearing costumes..." and then I realized that THEY WERE. I had seriously mistaken them for each other.
ReplyDeleteDitto kimmie! Love.it. So clever and cute!
ReplyDeleteIt's like that Haley Mills movie with the twins who switch places and then that lady gets chased by a bear!
ReplyDeleteFavorite Halloween post ever!!!
ReplyDeleteBest. Idea. Ever.
