Which superhero will it be?

So, this Halloween was a bit of a bust for a few reasons-- tornado producing whether kept everyone indoors. Rocky is battling a cold and didn't want to get out if bed -- I had to drag him to the car in his pjs with his favorite blanket and stuffed tiger. And then there's Stephen, aka the boy who couldn't make up his mind about which superhero he would be. 

I was really holding out hope he'd want to be batman, as we have pjs, cape and mask already. However, about 20 before school, Steve declared he would be iron man, and then the challenge to create a costume from near scratch began. 

Red superman pj pants? Got em. Red Christmas sweater? Why not? Red gloves? Check. Stephen insisted on blue lights for his chest and palms. These were cut from blue post it notes. Finally, I cut out the geometric shapes from yellow felt and sewed it to his red Spider-Man helmet that a crocheted several months ago. Stephen was pleased with his costume, save the lack of "blue light eyes," so out the door we went. Sorry, mom, I didn't take pictures. Here's a photo of another would-be costume: Stephen was pretending to be an insect. I don't really see it either!
