Don't Let The Pigeon Steal Your Halloween Candy

Do you remember two years ago, when I made Creed the Pigeon from our Favorite picture book, Don't Let The Pigeon Drive the Bus?  Well, guess what Creed was sure he wanted to be this year for Halloween . . . you guessed it, the Pigeon.  And of course the costume is WAY too small so I had to make a new one, but it was worth it because he was very excited about his new costume.

 I purposely made it too big because if he wants to be the Pigeon again next year, I am not making another pigeon costume.

 I made a couple of improvements to the costume (thanks to some help from my mom who happened to have some stiff fleece interfacing for the tail), but the biggest improvement is this time we had the Duckling from the books too!

 Here's an illustration from The Pigeon Finds a Hot Dog incase you don't know what I'm talking about (In which case, you're missing out on the best book series ever.  Guaranteed to make your toddler giggle)

Ollie made a really sweet Duckling.

 Who wouldn't succumb to The Pigeon's charms?

 Creed made it trick-or-treating to all of four houses before he said he was finished and wanted to go home.  I told him we were going to stop by two more houses on our way home so my mom, who was with us, could say hi to her friends.  At both houses when they offered him candy, he replied, "No, thank you!"  How can he possibly be related to Larry, the Candy King?
