Sesame Street Family Costumes
As we finalize this year’s Halloween costumes, I wanted to share the sources for our family costume last year.
It was the first time our family costume could be guided by Margot’s interests. Before screen time was ever introduced to her, she would listen to the Sesame Street soundtrack. So eventually, when she watched the show, she was obsessed—specifically with Elmo. So if we ever did a Sesame Street family costume, it was a no brainer what she would be. For us, I wanted to be something more unexpected than, for example, Big Bird and Cookie Monster. So we went as Bert and Ernie. A lot of time went into trying to find the perfect black hair hat wig (I had the Guy Fieri-type visors in mind). These worked to cover the majority of our hair but still give that sprouted top look.
