My Very Useful Engines

Happy Halloween from my adorable train conductors! Truman requested to be Thomas the train and he wanted Cecelia to be a 'little train.' So this is what I came up with. I can barely handle the cuteness and hope you agree.

(His new awesome camera-smile. And of course he didn't want to actually wear Thomas with the duct tape straps just yet--we'll get there before trick-or-treating, I hope)

(note the train tracks that Truman wanted to steal right off his sister's costume. Still such a cute 'little train' even if it's not the most girlie costume ever)

Pictures of the process of creating Thomas, along with a semi-detailed post is possible if you request. Otherwise, just prepare for more pictures from the trains in action on Halloween. :)
