Just prior to completing Christian's minifig costume, I expressed concern that he would quickly tire of its restrictiveness. Within 24 hours, Heather hand-sewed a soft version of the Lego Hoth Rebel Trooper shirt. I particularly like the ascot sown on the front which is a perfect real-world match to the Lego minifig version.
Here's Christian Halloween night ready to run from house to house. Lucky kid - two versions of the same costume? Really? Yeah, really. Don't feel too sorry for Erika and Juliet. They got the costumes they wanted. And November is Erika/Juliet month. Both celebrate birthdays in November and I have two heirloom type projects in mind that they can keep for the rest of their lives.
One last note about Christian's costume - he won "Best Overall Costume" for the 2nd graders. Moments after this picture was snapped, they announced that he won. He was so happy he jumped up, lost his balance, turned a little to his right, began to fall, and knocked over five other kids like dominoes. The audience roared.
