Its Halloween time!!!

I LOVE HALLOWEEN!!!! I love the weather, the creativity, the food, the scary movies I love it all. I start planning costumes months in advance and after much thought and stress I decide on a theme. I know that as the kids age they wont want to match there parents so I need to take advantage now. Brinley wanted so badly to be a pink princess after much struggle and persuasion I talked her into being a pink princess FLOWER. I found the perfect costume on Pottery Barn Kids for $120 it finally went on sale for a mere $60. Yeah right!! For one night I don’t think so, so I was brave enough to try to make it. I even found the shoe covers at the Dollar Store and embellished them with flowers and bees. I had so much fun, (thanks mom for letting me use your sewing machines, your help, and your home) it took all day but it turned out better than I imagined.

Another fun thing I accomplished, I am first time e-bay’er. My first item to bid on I WON!!! I got Owen’s costume on e-bay for $11 including shipping. It was a brand new (tags still on, in original packaging) from Gymboree. As soon as I won I started celebrating and couldn't wait to tell Justin so I called him at school to let him know of the good new. I don’t think he was as excited as Brinley and I were. I love e-bay how come I didn’t start this earlier?





Thankfully we have a Ward Fall Festival that we can dress up, more bang for our buck. Justin and I dressed as bees or so we said we did. The shirts didn't turn out as well as I wanted. But what else could I expect I was practically painting on them as we walked out the door.
