At last: Nick in costume
Young man said he wanted to be a big fluffy teddy bear for Halloween. Chelsea worked heroically to make it happen, and as they came down the home stretch, the two of them decided that Nick was looking more like an Ewok than a bear. So they went with it:

Anna went a different, and even funnier, route. She told us she wanted to be a dog for Christmas. Chelsea bought a couple of starting materials for the costume but didn't go any further; in her defense, it was still September. One day around then Anna went on a playdate to a friend's house and came home with this costume. Let me be plain about this: The six-year-old went out and got her own costume.

That's life as the third kid - have to do everything for yourself.
