Sock Monkey Costume

Look what you can make with a sweater, kids socks, a t-shirt and hot glue.

I love it so much I am thinking of trying to make a Santa one.

Halloween Costume Review

It is only November 3rd. I'm not doing too bad getting my Halloween pictures posted. I got the costumes complete by Oct 29th so that was not too bad. They turned out great and we had a wonderful Halloween with our friends Tali and Preston and their son Miles. Dressing a 2 year old in a costume-that is quite an experience in and of itself. Here are the highlights.

Small Fry checking things out with the binoculars that she was sure were going to be a permanent part of her costume

Pumpkin in her mouse costume. It was hard to get a still shot of her-she was on the move.

Cinderella on her pumpkin. I wanted to do more with her hair but she is 2- need I say more.

My little mouse and I (the fairy Godmother)

Cinderella and her prince daddy

The whole family.

What a trooper my hubby was to dress up. I think I am safe in saying he even enjoyed it.

Halloween Preview

A quick preview of the girls Halloween costumes. We are doing a family theme this year. The costumes are unfinished and made without patterns so they are definitely not comparable to the store bought version but my girls have the ability to make anything look cute (hopefully daddy and I can do our costumes justice as well). So here is what we have so far:

Small Fry is going as Cinderella (I love the attitude in this picture-it was a miracle I even got her to try the costume on)

Can you guess what my little pumpkin is going to be? It is in keeping with the Cinderella theme. This was just a trial run of her costume to make sure it fit.

She is going as one of the girl helper mice. You can't really see the tail on her costume in this picture. Stay tuned for the full family in costume (but don't expect anything before Halloween I have yet to begin on mine or my husbands).

Our little Lady Bug

If this doesn't get you in the Halloween Spirit I don't know what will. Here is our little lady bug testing out her costume and showing Grammy before she goes to Arizona. Getting her to sit still was quite the challenge. She is one speedy lady bug. Probably the cutest one I have ever seen.
