At first Bryan was going to be an Oompa Loompa and I was going to be Mary Poppins, but we both changed our minds and I think it worked out for the best.
I had a rough time picking out my costume this year, and I must say that I was pretty convinced it was going to be a flop, but it actually turned out to be quite the opposite. I went with the Oompa Loompa from the 1970's Willy Wonka movie and I must say, I had almost every detail spot on. It was a hit!
The original Oompa Loompa:My interpretation:
Bryan flopped around ideas for months until I mentioned the idea of a toy soldier like those from Toy Story. He loved the idea, and the costume was a very easy and successful attempt.
The real deal:
The replication attempt:
Of course, there was one more costume in our house that not as many people were able to see. This one doesn't need a picture for comparison - only a few lines from a song:

"We were at the beach
Everybody had matching towels
Somebody went under a dock
And there they saw a rock
It wasn't a rock
It was a rock lobster!"
She wouldn't keep the hood with the googly eyes on... actually she tried to eat the whole costume. She was adorable, nonetheless!
