Can't wait for Halloween!

Halloween is tomorrow!

The kids are excited. They've been couting down the days for

the past couple weeks already...lol :)

What are your kids gonna be for Halloween?

Are you dressing up too?

Mimi wanted to be a princess, so she chose to be

Rapunzel from Tangled.

Bub wanted to be Hawkeye from The Avengers movie.

We couldn't find the costume at Party City or Walmart,

so I decided that his costume would be "handmade" this year.

Off to savers we went to find things for his costume.

I think we did an awesome job. :)

I also asked my mom's bf to make his bow and arrrows.
It came out bigger than i thought,

but it's still awesome.

I handmade the arm band things and I sewed on the hawkeye
emblem on the vest. So, his whole costume is thrifted and handmade. :)

Here is the link for the PVC Bow & Arrows

Cupcakes!

Yay, for cupcakes! :)

Tonight I made some chocolate strawberry centered cupcakes.

They came out okay.

We have family dinner next week saturday, so I wanted

to make cupcakes. It is also my birthday. (yay me!)

Is it totally lame for me to bake my own cupcakes???

I figure that no one else bakes, so I might as well make my own.

Right? Oh well. =/

I kinda want to make halloween themed cookies and creme cupcakes.

I'm leaning towards that idea, but I haven't tried that before

so I guess we'll see how they come out. lol.

{Made by Me} Monday - Minnie Mouse

This year I decided to make Mimi's halloween costume.

She wanted to be Minnie Mouse and I thought that would be easy enough to do.

I just made a simple peasant dress, that way she can wear it again.

Nowadays, it's unreal to spend $20 and up for something your kids will

wear for just one day! Crazy!

I have yet to decide to make Bub his costume or not. He has his mind set on a

costume he already wants. Not sure if i'm gonna be able to make that

for him in time. =/

What are your kids dressing up as for Halloween?

Are you dressing up too?

Are you ready....?

Are you ready for Halloween??

Today I made a Mini Halloween Wreath for our door. :)

I've always seen them on others blogs, and even my sister creates

her own wreaths for different seasons (she lives on the mainland),

so I thought I'd give it a try. Finally. LOL!

I used cardboard and pages from a phonebook for the wreath,

cut out a couple bats from foam sheets,

and added some white, orange and black pom poms.

It's simple. And I like it.

PLUS, it didn't cost a thing since I had all the

supplies on hand! Yay! :)

This year I am making Mimi's costume. She wants to be Minnie Mouse.

That's pretty easy. As for Bub, he wants to be Ash from Pokemon.

I'm not sure if I'm gonna make his, or just buy it from the store.

Still debating on that one.

Have you made a Halloween wreath for your door?

Started putting up decorations?

Are you making your children's costumes this year?

I'd love to know! :)
