Hi all! Today I wanted to share a few fun photos from our family halloween costume for a race we ran this weekend! We ran the
Superhero 5K in Cambridge, and ran as The Incredibles! So so so much fun.
For those of you needing a last minute family Halloween costume here's how I put together ours! Shopping links are included in the text and almost everything is available by
Amazon Prime so you can get it in time for Halloween!
For Liv's I got lucky and found a
premade Jack Jack costume in her size (12-18 months). They're sold out online now, but you can easily buy a
red one piece like
this one and stick on an Incredible's logo over it! I dropped the ball and assumed her costume was footies though, and of course as we were getting dressed at 7:30 in the morning realized they weren't, and we had only white socks! Sorry Liv. She surprisingly liked the eye mask and didn't want us to take it off! So funny. I did find it a little tight though and took it off when she woke up from her nap.
For mine and N's I bought
red leggings and
red shirts,
black underwear,
thigh-high tights (N folded his to knee-length),
gloves, and
eye masks. I found the Incredible's logo online and printed out copies on plain old white paper, cut them out, and then attached them to our shirts with velcro.
As far as the race itself - I took the thigh-highs off for the race since they definitely would not have stayed up the whole time - double sided tape on those bad boys might have done the trick but I didn't think of it! Everything thing else I kept on the whole time! I ran in my
Air Pegasus sneakers (my favorites - and not pictured here since they didn't match the costume haha) and ran with Liv in our
BOB Revolution Flex Stroller. It's so light, so easy to maneuver, reclines almost all the way back (Liv slept the whole run), and has some insane shock absorption! Even the undercarriage is large enough to fit my
Lily Jade diaper bag. The handle is also adjustable so N and I can change the position when either of us uses it.
