We started out with something Dave absolutely loves...The Map from Dora. So I took a plain thermal and ironed on some pictures of The Map I found from the internet and printed. Really seemed like a good idea, but turned out kinda blah.
The Map costume.
So onto idea #2. Diego. Of course! Dave loves Diego. He'll be so pumped to be dressed up as him. Wrong.
Here's the costume. We had it all on hand, and the vest is made from a pair of Josh's old corduroy pants.
Here's Dave in the costume. And this is by far the best picture. He hated it. The vest was a battle, and it ended up in the trash after Dave tore it off. It was very much like the incredible hulk.
So we were back to square one. No costume. Thankfully, last time we visited Evansville we snagged the suit my brother wore in a wedding when he was Dave's age. Perfect! Somehow Josh put it on Dave without him throwing a fit.
Dave and all the awesomeness that is a baby in a vest!
Looking so handsome. We decided to say he was a preacher. Other people thought that he was a mafia guy.
Strutting his stuff around the trunk or treat event we had on campus.
After one too many suckers...and a visit with the Lauers and their puppies!
Hopefully somebody made it through all of those costume changes! I think Dave was happy in the end with his cool suit-he received lots of attention all night.

Oh boy. What a story. Love the ripping of the vest like the Incredible Hulk. I can totally imagine that.
