Halloween Inspiration

I switched over to the new blogger and have been scared away ever since. How do I work this thing???

 Over it and moving on.

 Two years ago, I was pregnant with Charlotte, super lazy and had no Halloween costume for Sawyer. Bad mommy. One year ago I knew he had to be something so I grabbed a lion costume at Target while walking by. No long thought process, no pressure. THIS year I want something cute, vintagey, original, handmade. And I can't find a thing. Any suggestions? This is probably the last year I can override him.

 I've been on an Etsy hunt since a few weeks ago. There are some cute infant costumes. Adorable girl costumes and almost zero boy costumes. Does dressing boys cute EVER get easy?!?! Since I've been scouring Etsy, I figured I would post some of my favorite costumes making YOUR job as mommy or daddy WAY easier. (You can thank me in paypal donations...)



  Sack of Taters!!! I don't think an infant costume gets much cuter. Can someone PLEASE buy this?!?!

 Does Alice in Wonderland EVER get old? How about this adorable Drink Me costume???

 I know pirate costumes have been all the rage in the last five years or so but this one is too cute to keep out!

 I'm a bit... okay, A LOT in love with the shop that makes these aprons. She makes apron costumes for toddler, kids and adults. They also have this retro vibe that I love. I want like all her stuff! Check out her Little Red Riding Hood costume:

 But winner winner, chicken dinner may be this super hero costume. The only thing holding me back is how much it costs. I mean, it's on par with the cost of all the cute costumes on etsy but I wanted to cap the cost at $25 per child. This costume is pulling me in though... the attraction is too strong... help!!!!

Do you see my problem besides wanting to spend a zillion dollars on a one day outfit? There isn't anything here for Sawyer. I need your IDEAS or he'll end up in a Gap shirt and jeans like two years ago. Don't make me look bad...

Just another Halloween post but with cuter kids.

Ha! Just kidding, but got your attention huh?

The hubby wanted a Halloween Party so this is what he got. If I actually took pictures after the party started, you would see a lot more but we had some great company... okay and a few beers.

Sawyer helped decorate:



I insisted I take a picture WITH the kids since I'm always behind the camera:




Craft table for the kids:




Pre fat cells:




Floating Heads-




in cider:




Spray painted mini-pumpkins with chalkboard paint for the kids:


Loved these two:


Hope it was a good one. Now, who is ready for Christmas?!?!?!

Halloween Love

After a failed attempt at making Charlotte an owl costume for Halloween (MOSTLY because knitting is harder than figuring out the rubix cube.) Prudent Baby saved my Halloween life.

Happy Halloween and don't eat any candy from strangers that looks like it was tampered with or has needle marks. C'mon, you know you got the speech like a hundred times each Halloween, I just wanted to make sure you didn't forget.

Unless you are really funny drugged up, in that case, turn on the video camera first.

Love youuuuu!
