Bon Apetite!

Anyone Can Cook is the theme of Pixar's movie Ratatouille, but No-one is as cute of a rat as our Wendy. Likewise, No-one can sew an amazing Remy costume from scratch (without a pattern) like Reesa can. Simply looking online at a sleeper tutorial for reference, she constructed the body and added mittens, a tail and contrasting fabric on the belly. The cap was made with the help of a bonnet pattern which wouldn't be complete with a pair of pink ears. We collaborated in regards to construction and size/shape. Reesa just whipped up this adorable costume for Wendy, which everyone at our ward party was shocked to find was handmade.  In addition Reesa sewed our matching chef houndstooth pants. 

We had a myriad of ideas for this year. Many seemed better suited for a larger cast while others were not as Wendy-focused as we'd like.  This became the perfect fit for our family of three. And who doesn't want to see Wendy in a little rat costume? Just look at those whiskers and pink nose. Although a bit sleep-deprived, our Little Chef was such a trooper during the photo shoot taken on location at Communal and the alley near Los Hermanos. 

We LOVE this family tradition. It is so fun to see the unity of individual families as well as the whole Cornwall clan

Super Halloween

Well we have had a SUPER Halloween so far this season. Everyone one in this family is pretty super but we decided to take one night to show just how super we could be. Bennett is a big Super Hero lover right now so he was our inspiration for our theme this year.
Bennett is a Super Batman. We got his costume last year after halloween with plans to use it this year. It worked out perfectly and boy does he look good. Marybeth made the Bat that he has in his hand and loved throwing it around the house. The only downside was that Bennett kept saying "The Branch President said No Masks." He wasnt happy to not be able to wear his mask to the party but he looked great
Next is the Cutest Robin you will ever see. Marybet made and put together the entire costume. Emary was not happy about being Robin (she wanted to be Elsa) But once she donned the Cape, Red Boots, and painted mask she ran around the house and yard like she was flying looking for bad guys.
Next is Robert.......I mean Clark Kent. No superhero group would be complete without Superman. After a lot of thought it was decided that Clark Kent would be the most modest over the Cape Crusader. It ended up working out well and besides Superman doesn't get to wear glasses.
Last but not least is the most Amazing, or should I say Wonder Woman of them all. I must admit that the Cornwall Girls make great super heros. Marybeth made quite the transformation to Civilian to what you see before you. She borrowed the costume from a relative but added the head band and boots on her own. And I must admit that the red lipstick was a really nice touch.
This dynamic duo is unlike any other. They were ready and able to take on any criminals. They are the cutest superheros that I have ever met.
Little did we know that BatGirl was going to join our gang but the biggest surprise was the arrival of Riddler an enemy to this Super clan. "Batman" took it upon himself to make sure that Riddler felt his wrath and that he would think twice about trying anything against any civilians
