Demigods

We absolutely love the books by Rick Riordan.  We like the Percy Jackson series and Heroes of Olympus better than the Kane Chronicles, but we have read them all.  Because of this love, these are the books we have been reading at night this summer, William has been reading them on his own also.  So when it came time to decide what to do for Halloween costumes William wanted to be Leo from the Heroes of Olympus series.  He convinced his sisters to be characters also, Bradley didn't have a choice.

So here they are.  Caitlyn is supposed to be Piper, Britton is Annabeth complete with Yankees hat, and Bradley is Jason.  Brandon thought this was a great idea because we would just have to make their t-shirts, find the daggers and sword, an army jacket and a Yankees hat.  Of course he left the shirts up to me after he bought them and the paint.  So I found the designs online, printed them out, traced it onto freezer paper, and meticulously cut it out.  The painting went really nicely, but this design was smaller and more complicated than the last time I used the freezer paper.  I told Brandon that next time he gets to execute his grand ideas.  The orange shirts say Camp Half-Blood and the purple shirt says Camp Jupiter.  The kids are pretty excited, they even asked if they could just wear the shirts anytime after Halloween.
