Who's pumpkin is better?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN AGAIN!!

Straight to the important part... the pumpkins.

Who's pumpkin is better? That's right... I'm super competitive with my hubby.

He's good at everything so I'm allowed. Right hubby? Right.

 

 

So... WHO HAS THE BETTER PUMPKIN!

Left is Mike's

Right is Marci's

 

I love it when my camera doesn't focus. Sarcasm.

 

MMMM... Candy.
I was very excited to hand out candy tonight!
We had around 24 kids.. (up front 10 last year) which makes me one happy pregnant lady.
I remember when I was younger and there were hundreds of kids everywhere.
After seeing everyone tonight, I'm looking forward to dressing Baby Hira up next year.
In the meantime, we have some bigger issues to focus on.. like left over candy.
Here are some pictures of the bags we made up.

That's right. We gave out playdoh.

Hope everyone had a great night!

Halloween and a baby skeleton?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

I am so happy I found make it and love it. It was the perfect costume for this year.

 

Plain t-shirt from Wal-Mart (in the men’s department of all places)
Fabric paint
Freezer paper 
Paint brush (had one)
Iron
Xacto knifePen

How to:

1. Cut a piece of the freezer paper to the size I wanted for the shirt.

2. I had to freehand the ribs and baby skeleton on the freezer paper because the website didn't offer a stencil.

3. Used a cutting board and carefully cut out the stencil using the Xacto knife.

4. Placed the cut freezer paper on the shirt where I wanted it, shiny side against the fabric, and ironed it (without steam) so the paper stuck to the shirt.

5. Put a piece of cardboard in between the shirt so the paint didn’t soak through onto the other side.

6. Blotted the paint with the paintbrush carefully, covering all areas. Did 2 more coats.

 

7. Dried overnight.

8. Carefully pealed off the freezer paper.

9. Put a piece of fabric over it and ironed again to seal the paint... (again no steam)

And voila!

Another Costume Idea

Our local radio station showed this on their facebook page. I totally want to do this now!

Halloween!

I'm very excited for Halloween this year.. I think it's because our community has expanded so much and people now know we live here. I'm hoping we get more than 10 kids but let's be realistic, I quite enjoy eating the left over candy :)

I seen this on pinterest and am hoping to make this for my costume; with or without the bow :)
