I was super excited about Goose and Belle’s Halloween costumes this year, but we never actually made it out of the house!
Our neighborhood allows trick-or-treating from 6-9pm so I fed the girls dinner and had them all ready to go. We were literally about to walk out of the door at 5:59pm when there was a tornado warning and we were advised to stay indoors.
The warning only lasted until 30 minutes, but by then it was pitch black and torrential rain was flooding the streets. We just said forget it and did an improvised trick-or-treating inside. Both girls got plenty of candy and everyone was happy (and dry)!
Luckily, I had the foresight to take pictures of them in their Halloween costumes in the afternoon while the weather was still nice! Belle was dressed as Simone Biles and Goose was Misty Copeland. Both outfits were really easy to put together and I thought they looked adorable! We’ve spent a lot of time lately watching clips on youtube and talking about each woman’s accomplishments so the girls were definitely excited to emulate them.
If you’re already planning your next Halloween costume or just want to know where we got these pieces, everything is from Amazon!
Simone Biles
Misty Copeland
Like I said, they both had a great time just wearing their costumes and eating candy. Perhaps we’ll try trick-or-treating again next year!
