We don't make too much of a big deal about it, but we still had loads of fun!
And loads of candy. Someone take it away from me!
This is my favorite time of year and I am more excited than usual because it means we are getting so much closer to welcoming our new little boy!
I wanted to share with you the costume that I made for Liza this Halloween. When I finally heard the same "pink owl" costume idea from Liza a few days in a row, I knew that's what she wanted to be. I really didn't want to spend money on a costume that she would only wear once, so I went looking for an easy DIY version. I found my inspiration on Pinterest, of course.

Here's how it turned out. Not perfect, but still cute!
My friend Pam of Heads or Tails Boutique made her fabulous owl hat!
I could not get a good picture to save my life, but hopefully you get the idea.
I am a little late to the party, but I am linking this post up to the super inspiring Pinterest Challenge over on Young House Love.
Since we are talking Halloween costumes, check out Katey's adorable kiddos! They are in the process of moving, but she sent me a few pictures.

All the kids look great! I love the DIY pink owl, great job!! I had the same problem with picture taking last night!! My 3 year old was on the move ALL night & wanted nothing to do with picture taking!

You did such a great job on her costume! I'm very impressed. We had a great Halloween, although Trick-or-Treating was rescheduled to Saturday in our town, due to the majority of people still being without power.
ReplyDeleteI think weekend trick-or-treating should always be the way!
DeleteWow, awesome job on the costume! Even following a Pinterest tutorial to the letter, I still don't think I could have made it look that good!
ReplyDeleteI'm not usually very good at it either, Jane! I was too scared to use my sewing machine so I sewed those feathers by hand! Haha!

How cute! i love the costume! I am so impressed! I hope you had a great Halloween!
ReplyDeleteSo cute!!! Love that little pink owl!! The hat Pam made is SO cute!! :D
ReplyDeleteLOVE her hat! Pam is the best!
DeleteThe kids look so cute!!! You got way more good pictures than I did. It is so hard to get good pictures of them as they get older!
ReplyDeleteWe don't make a big deal out of Halloween either - and we're trying to limit the candy! In the past we've driven the kids around to friends' and families' homes - we get in a few visits and only get a few treats - but this year many people still didn't have power and we just didn't feel like driving around all evening. The kiddos still got dressed up and we went out for pizza. When we got home, Phil ran inside the house and the kiddos knocked on the door for treats. :)
ReplyDeleteI made butterfly wings for Gwen from a big playsilk, dyeing it pink and purple. They came out really well and will make a nice addition to her dress-up clothes. She just wore purple pants and a pink shirt on top, and a multi-colored tutu. Josiah wanted a kitty face, like we did last year, so I did kitty makeup and ears. :) I wore an orange shirt and was going to use black tape to make a jack-o-lantern face on my belly but opted instead to wear little blue horns that I got one year at King Richard's Faire. We had a great time
Love Liza's costume - you did a great job! It's always so fulfilling putting something together myself. :)
Thanks, Kar! The kiddos costumes sound perfect. Will youpost on your blog? I have to check it out! How are you feeling???

I LOVE those outfits! You are SOO creative!!
ReplyDeleteAwe, thanks!
DeleteSo cute!! I love the pink owl costume!! I have almost no pictures at all from this halloween, it is so very hard to get the kids to sit for even a moment.
ReplyDeleteShe will not look at the camera for even a split second! Haha!
