Trick Or Treat ; Halloween 2009

TRICK OR TREAT!!


These first few pictures are actually the day before Halloween we got dressed up for a dinner function with the Snohomish County ARC.

My Garden Fairy, Surfer and my Spongebob!

Alana has a sneaky grin here lol and look she's blinding poor spongebob!

I loved his grin in this picture

Okay now these are from Halloween

Kaila's lovely fairy makeup!

At the Boo Bash in Mukilteo.. which we got dumped on by this crappy seattle weather shortly after arriving.

She wanted the mouse that was shown on the cover of the face painting book lol. Then proceeded to rip one of the makeup things off the table to open it so she could look in the tiny mirror at her face painting :-P.

Kaila got a flower to match her costume

Painting pumpkins but it was pouring so we left them there and forgot to go get them before the bash ended.. oh well life goes on right they are just pumpkins that will rot yes? lol

Trick or Treat!!!!

It stopped raining for about an hour for the most part and started up again when we decided we were done! At one house the lady asked if she could take their picture lol.

Anybody there???? I WANT SOME CANDY!!! TRICK OR TREAT!!

Ahhhhhh SWEET SUCCESS!

Costumes ~ Surfer, Garden Fairy & Spongebob ; Halloween 2009

I've always tried getting costumes the prior year cheap but it never happens. I don't know what they will be in to the next year I dont want to get a costume they will hate.. plus most of the good costumes are taken after halloween. And I am forgetful and lose things I always save leftover xmas cards from the prior season and never find them next season and end buying new anyway.. I would lose the costumes in the garage somewhere and forget I ever even bought them.. Although I do think the after halloween costumes if you get the right deals would be great for just dress up pretend play. Alana still likes to wear her dorothy dinosaur wiggles costume from 3 years ago.

So Alana is in to spongebob at the moment and I got her this costume off craigslist (photo is a stock photo of the costume from amazon.com)

Kaila wanted to be a fairy of some sort.. our first choice butterfly fairy we couldnt find in her size and then she seen this one at walmart and had to have it.. it's a Garden Fairy and it lights up! (again stock photo from amazon.com)

People are always saying Donni looks like a little surfer including myself (hair mostly :-P) so I had a crazy idea and he is a surfer for halloween. Did you know they don't make a surfer costume?? Did you know I couldn't find a mini surfboard online?? So I made one to be used as his bag because really you can't expect an almost 2 year old to carry a bag AND a surfboard... Shoot he probably wont even carry the combo I made.. or any bag for the matter. I got the design idea for the surfboard from this because he is wearing nemo trunks..

Little fin side

The middle is his treatbag I used 2 halloween them treat/lunch bags and took the bottom out of one and connected them to make on big long bag.

Letting big fin side dry

Finished Costume (little fin side)

Added some halloween ribbon for straps to hold it.

Pumpkin Carving and Painting ; Halloween 2009

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

The kids are still too little to participate much in carving but Kaila did help gut a little lol.. Love the faces! Kaila and Alana had a small pumpkin each from school field trips to the same farm we went on a family trip to which were too small to really carve much so we decided to just paint those. We didnt paint faces.. I just gave them paint and let them do whatever the wanted.. I think Kaila's did have a face at one point but then she went crazy. Daddy carved the skull looking one and I carved the boo ghost and the trick or treat pumpkin.

Looking at the stencils

He was being a butthead and didn't want his picture taken.

Paint plus shirts equals no good lol

The girls finished pumpkins :-D
