Based on the movie (which you REALLY should see, if you haven't already) Malcom absolutely had to be Flynn Rider:
I made his vest and satchel, but the pants and boot-covers we already had. Notice his real commitment to the costume, he shaved his mustache! He also grew out his hair for two months--what a great sport.
I was Mother Gothel, Rapunzel's evil mom:
I bought the red dress and black boots at Salvation Army. I altered the dress to fit better and added some trim. I borrowed a Captain Hook wig from Amy and over-did the makeup.
Jacob could've been Maximus the horse, but baby-sized, white horse costumes are surprisingly hard to come by. So he became a Ruffian, one of the tough guys from the pub scene:
I used Bekah's pirate vest from 2 years ago, made his arm bands, ax, and helmet. It was fun to dress him up!
And of course, the girl who we based the whole thing around, Rapunzel herself:
I bought the costume, made the yarn hair. Easy! And where would Rebekah be without her little white doggy? So I made a costume for him too:
He's Rapunzel's little chameleon friend, Pascal. That was a fun one to make, even though it was a little hard to work with something so small!
On Saturday we went to a friend's costume birthday party, then to the ward trunk-or-treat. It was wonderfully low-key this year, just pizza, a few crafts, and the trunks.
This morning was Bekah's preschool party. There was a little costume parade so all the parents could come and cheer--very cute!
Afterward was a party with tons of junk food (and some healthy stuff). I think that was her favorite part!
And of course, tonight, we headed out for Trick-or-Treating. We went with the Fullertons and just enjoyed their family-friendly neighborhood. Bekah got so much candy we had to unload her bucket TWICE so it didn't get too heavy!
I hope everyone else had a great Halloween too!

Very cute! I love your creativity. You guys all look so nice, but I have to say pascal was my favorite (only because I would never have thought to or done him). Maybe someday I will make my kids coordinating costumes. Right now they are lucky to have a costume.
So much fun! You all fit perfectly - I especially love Malcom as Flynn. My girls are both jealous over Bekah's costume and have just forgotten that they CHOSE and LOVED their own. Oh, well. Glad you had fun creating and celebrating!
Malcom is the perfect Flynn Ryder, even got the smolder down it seems. By the way, did you see the "Countdown to Christmas Candy Chain" made by someone with the Halloween candy? Maybe a way to slowly eat through the two buckets!
I concur with all prior comments! Y'all look freakin' fantastic! I love dressing in themes for Halloween!
