Dorothy&#8217;s dress was a simple, buttoned, bib front, blue gingham dress that I edged with eyelet&nbsp;lace. &nbsp;Denali wore a white collared shirt and a pair ruby red slippers (of course). &nbsp;She ended getting a lot of mileage out of those red sparkly shoes. &nbsp;They worked really well with her Christmas dress. &nbsp;She also carried Todo in a basket.<\/p>\n<p>The scarecrow costume was also quite simple. &nbsp;I used an old pair of Dylan&#8217;s pants and bought a green long sleeved t-shirt. &nbsp;I used tan polar fleece fabric for the straw. &nbsp;Then I just sewed all kinds of patches onto his clothing. &nbsp;I made his hood out of more fleece and attached an inexpensive witch hat to it. &nbsp;Then I just tied rope around his ankles, wrists and waist. &nbsp;Dylan made sure to stay in character most of the night and flopped around and tripped often. <\/p>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/oleanderandpalm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/oz4.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/oleanderandpalm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/oz4.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: center;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/oleanderandpalm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/oz5.jpg\" imageanchor=\"1\" style=\"margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;\"><img decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/oleanderandpalm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/10\/oz5.jpg\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>\nLast night our church had their Halloween party, so the kids wore their costumes. &nbsp;It&#8217;s kind of fun that they get to wear them more then once. &nbsp;I&#8217;m kind of relieved to have them done and ready to go for Halloween. &nbsp;Are you still working on costumes? &nbsp;Or are you trick or treat ready? &nbsp;What are your kiddos going to be this year? <\/p>\n<div class=\"post-body entry-content\" id=\"post-body-2543349633438484189\" itemprop=\"description articleBody\" style=\"color: #999999; font-family: Arial, Tahoma, Helvetica, FreeSans, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; line-height: 1.4; position: relative; width: 702px;\">\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nYou can see more of our Halloween costumes by clicking the links below.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oleanderandpalm.com\/2012\/10\/shark-and-scuba-diver-halloween-costumes.html\" style=\"color: #93c47d; text-decoration: none;\">Shark and Scuba Diver<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oleanderandpalm.com\/2012\/10\/cowgirl-and-indian-halloween-costumes.html\" style=\"color: #93c47d; text-decoration: none;\">Cowgirl and Indian<\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oleanderandpalm.com\/2012\/10\/luke-skywalker-and-princess-leia.html\" style=\"color: #93c47d; text-decoration: none;\">Luke Skywalker and Princess Leia<\/a>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px; text-align: left;\">\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.oleanderandpalm.com\/2012\/10\/metamorphosis-halloween-costumes.html\">Metamorphosis &#8211; Butterfly, Chrysalis, and Caterpillar<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>These Scarecrow and Dorothy costumes are classics. &nbsp;All the characters from the Wizard of Oz make fantastic Halloween costumes. &nbsp;Denali and Dylan had watched the movie that year and decided very early that they wanted to be Dorothy and the Scarecrow.
