The other night was the start of Halloween for us, we went trick or treating up town to the businesses that hand out candy. I think it is great that we have an opportunity to trick or treat more than once and use our costumes more too. On that thought, I will tell you what happened to me. I had a hard time figuring out what my kids were going to be for Halloween this year and I kept putting it off, so when I finally decided, I ordered them. Funny part is back in mind I was thinking that it was ridiculous that I was ordering them when I could just take the time and make them homemade! Well, like I said I went ahead and ordered them, and as time got closer I wasn't seeing them, I was very frustrated and worried because I wanted them to get use out of them more than once like I said. It was a day or so before this up town trick or treat night that I realized my daughter Alivia's was out of stock after I had already planned to have it for a week, they didn't let me know till a day before, grrrrrr! Brandt's wasn't here either and I thought maybe it will come the same day?! So after all of this craziness I thought I better come up with a plan B, so to Walmart we went to try to make homemade costumes. I was SO thrilled that I found supplies for homemade costumes, but after I came home and put them together, my Mom called me and told me Brandt's costume had arrived, ha my luck right?! My Mom wanted to buy Brandt's costume this year so I said sure, wasn't going to argue with that..lol. Since Brandt was really excited about his homemade costume, I decided to pass on his other costume and let him be the homemade one for the business one and then have him wear the one my Mom bought him to school and for Halloween night. Alivia still had no choice since she didn't have one, ha, but her homemade one was a cute idea:)
So here is what we ended up with for the homemade one's.............
Smurf and Princess Fairy
This was the night before making sure the hat I made him fit:)
This was the COOLEST part to him.... his face gets to be all blue:)
My Princess
( I found the felt purse and felt wand at Walmart, along with the crown and just added jewels and her name on the crown, she LOVED it)
Since we are in the Halloween kick I decided to do a little fun craft at home with the kids.....
Painting plates to make them pumpkins.. I didn't have orange paint so we made green ones:)
So excited to be painting
The finished pumpkins:)
Brandt said his is SPOOKY(on the right)
Alivia's is HAPPY(on the left)
I couldn't resist these glow in the dark jammies for Alivia, they didn't have any in Brandt's size which was disappointing!
She was SO proud of them.. ha ha!
Here is what else has been going on the past few days......
I have been married to my sweet Husband for 7 years and we had the chance to go out on a date Saturday night to celebrate!
I think it is safe to say that I am a little spoiled by my Hubby.. gorgeous flowers.. he never fails to surprise me:)
I have a hate/love relationship with these carts at the grocery store.. they are fun for the kids but make the process of getting groceries take FOREVER! Do you agree with me Mom's out there? It's obvious she LOVES it though:)
Brandt agrees that it is cool, now only if he could buy the groceries also, ha!
Aviators, in style, who doesn't want a pair? Who can beat my Walmart special one's, I bet you can't tell they aren't real?
(LOVE them) Especially since I didn't spend much on them at all
Stay tuned to find out the big REVEAL of what Brandt and Alivia and maybe ME are going to be for Halloween tomorrow night!
Till next time................
