We packed ourselves up on Halloween night and headed over to my sister-in-law Michelle's house for a yummy chili dinner and trick or treating with the cousins.
I must say I'm quite proud of my children's costumes this year. I asked Noah what he wanted to be about a month ago and he picked the character "Dog" from his favorite cartoon Word World and then decided he would be a Super Hero Dog! At first I tried to talk him into something that other people would get (and admittedly, something easier for me to purchase) but he was set on his idea. I'm so glad I wasn't able to talk him out of it- I loved seeing how happy he got helping me get all the different pieces to the costume- first we found a cape then ears and a tail and last I ironed on the letters to the t-shirt. And the process was actually so much more fun for me than just a simple trip to the Halloween store. He was so happy to wear it and I got a kick out of how unique it was- he was definitely the only Super Hero Dog around these parts!
This was Sienna's first Halloween and I decided to dress her as a little mouse. While searching for the perfect costume for her I fell in love with the idea of having her in a tutu. I was about to buy one online until Michelle helped me figure out how easy they are to make. So now I have just about every color tulle there is and can't wait to make her a million tutus for every occasion- they are so cute and fun! I also added rhinestones to the ears to add a little sparkle- honestly I surprised myself with my crafty side I never knew I had. Only time will tell just how far I will take this new hobby of mine. Stay tuned =)
SO cute!
