This is Halloween! part 2

We went to see ElCid and the girls had fun as always!

Here are the first pictures of the fun.

Strawberella
(the only place I could find the crown was on ebay for $25, she didn't get one)

Gold Ariel
(I've seen other pictures of this but I can't find one now!)

Lemon Meringue
(she better get taller soon or we're going to have to make some lifestyle changes)

These are the entries the girls made in the Pumpkin Carving Contest

Jr. made a fairy house

Fred made a fairytale carriage


and won Most Creative
I think this picture goes into the year book...
as a PTSO person I took pics of all the winners so we can post them up, somewhere.

Being the Grown-Up

*sigh* Why do I let me kids have opinions on their own costumes? I let Fred have some say on her Lemon Meringue costume and it was painful for me! Here are two pics. The first is how I would have left it, the second is how I did it because she wanted it that way. The second way isn't bad and it does reflect more accurately the doll we patterned the whole outfit off of but without the logo she could have worn the top other places.

I had also really wanted one more outfit to donate for Harvest Festival tomorrow and I probably could have got it done but, there are several other things (like Fred's costume) I needed to complete fully and I wouldn't want to do something halfway and have it reflect badly on me. It's also a better idea for me to have some sleep before tomorrow!The fabric and all won't be wasted I'm going to use it for my kid's Christmas dresses.

Fall Twirl Top/Dress size 4/6

Hello Kitty Halloween Dress/Tunic and knit peasant blouse size 4/6

Spirit Day Outfit, white butterfly top and purple capris size 6/8

Okay back to the rest of the work!

The many sides of Halloween

Happy Halloween!!!

Here are pics of all our Halloween fun

First there was the Harvest Festival -

The Bat throw

The girls in the blow up haunted house

Then there was the pumpkin carving contest- we won most creative

Then we did Trick or Treat at Daddy's office


Last we did Trunk or Treat at church and came home with 10 lbs of loot --
I weighed it!

Vampiress, Tink (the pout is a pose), Genevieve - the dancing princess

Here's to stomachaches and cavities -- Long live Halloween!!!!

P.S. If anyone wants to see how dancing Princesses unwind I will send the picture privately --
it is NOT web appropriate

Pink!!...Blue!!...Pink!!...Blue!!!!!

I've been wanting to do a Sleeping Beauty Blue for a long time now but no one has requested one so for Halloween I offered to make my niece Sally one. She sweetly said no she wanted Sleeping Beauty Pink but I could make Sleeping Beauty Blue for her Mom. So I figured heck why not I have most the fabric to make one so I did. Here are the ladies in their "matchy" dresses. They look fabulous!
