October Fun. //Halloween//

We were invited to a Halloween party this year, so I thought we could totally have fun dressing up in costumes this year. 
Our first Halloween we weren't in the same country, so we didn't dress up. 
Our 2nd Halloween we had a blast dressing up as Thing 1 and Thing 2. (We had tickets to an event that required costumes....they were kinda last minute)

Last year was also last minute and involved driving around to about 4 different thrift stores to find things we needed. We were minions as you can see in the back of the group picture.

So this year.....I decided I didn't want to end up spending more than $20 as I don't think costumes should be expensive. So I found an amazing blog who made her kids costumes, but they were made from a template of their clothes......and figured we could totally do that and just make them to fit us. I knew what we should be this year, I just didn't want to pay the $100+ for actual costumes. I even checked eBay but they were still that price. So I went to Joanns with my coupon and spent about $20 on supplies and pulled out my sewing machine. So last weekend, all my waking moments were spent working on these:

Link to Flynn Rider Costume 

If you guys dressed up or your kids did, leave a link in the comments. 

I want to see =) 

Halloween Candy.

So if any of you have kids or have been around kids during Halloween, you'll appreciate this video.

It's so mean really, but actually hilarious! 

I have come to really not like Halloween, I was never allowed to celebrate it when I was young either. My parents didn't agree with the glorification of evil aspect of the holiday, which is a little big to forget with all the 'cute-ness' which is thrown into the celebrating.

This past week I have caught five kids sneaking candy, so I'm a little frustrated at the amounts of candy handed out also.

So enjoy!

Much Love,
