Trick or Treat

Saturday night we went to my Mom's so the kids could go trick or treating. This was the easiest year I have had on costumes:)


Every year (up until this year) I have made the kids their costumes. There have been the ladybug, raggedy ann, a bear, a firefighter, a ghoul, a witch, a cheerleader, a flower fairy, a devil, a football player, a victorian girl, numerous princesses.....


But this year, Tyler wanted to be a football player. With REAL football pants and a REAL jersey. And Jessie wanted to be a REAL huskies cheerleader.


Fortunately for me, the sporting goods store in Ashland had a pair of white football pants in Tyler's size on the clearance rack, and an honest-to-goodness husky cheerleader outfit for Jessie on the clearance rack.


I did have a few hard moments upon realizing that I didn't have to make anything for halloween, then rejoiced because I was not up at 1:00 in the morning finishing costumes.....
Here's to hoping everyone had a good Halloween!

Their costumes look great! It would be wonderful to be able to make my kids costumes, I really should learn how to sew better. Your house looks spooky!

I love how the house looks; it's soo cute!

This year I didn't have time for costumes so we used costumes from 2 years ago.

Well done for getting out of costume making.
We don't do trick or treat so much over here so I've never had to make Gem a costume. She used to save that for all the school plays at Christmas

Love and hugs Gina xxx
