Narnia Costume Brainstorming

 This evening, the kids and I went for a walk on the neighborhood trail, through BB Mill. As we walked, we talked about all of the different permutations that we could have for family-themed Narnia costumes this Halloween. Here were some of the ideas:

  • Dad as Mr. Tumnus
  • Mom as the White Witch
  • Sam as a Wardpost or Lampdrobe (a wardrobe with a lamppost inside the doors)
  • Lucy as Lucy
  • Violet as Aslan
OR
  • Dad as Mr. Beaver
  • Mom as Mrs. Beaver
  • Sam as Edmund with Turkish delight
  • Lucy as Lucy
  • Violet as Aslan
OR
  • Dad as the wardrobe
  • Mom as a lamppost
  • Sam as the stone table
  • Lucy as Lucy
  • Violet as Aslan

Lucy said that she doesn't want to be an inanimate object ("I want to be human!") so that last theme won't work. And she will pretty much only consider being Lucy. Perhaps going as inanimate objects from Narnia is too niche, but I love how esoteric it would be. ;) 

I love talking about Narnia books with my kids and we all had a happy time imagining costume possibilities together. Now we just need J to get on board. I doubt I can convince him to be a faun.
