Halloween was full of fun for the kids this year!
DJ told Eleanor and me late last week that he wanted to be a pumpkin which had me scrambling to figure out if I could buy a costume or if I would have to make one. When I searched online for a costume, the only thing that was sized for a boy his size was $40 shipped. Not a chance was I buying that! That left me the "make my own" option left.
Saturday morning, I began my journey at Target to buy pumpkin leaf bags. Then I went to Michaels craft store to buy "accessories". While I was there, I saw an orange tshirt, a jack-o-lantern stencil, a leaf stencil, and a few hats/masks for DJ to try. I also bought fabric markers. I brought it all home, and craft time began.
Meanwhile, my parents and I had seen a Tinkerbell costume that I knew Elektra would love (and she did). Between her Tinkerbell costume and her new sparkly shoes, she was set!
During the day, DJ and Grace went to Preschool where they were scheduled to have a Halloween party, and they were supposed to wear their costumes to school. Grace dressed as a flower this year.

That night, when they got home, the DJ and Elektra were SO excited to go Trick-or-Treating!! I dressed the kids to be relatively warm, and off we went! Daddy stayed home to give out candy to the kids coming to our house. We saw a bunch of our neighbors, met some new ones, and one house was all decked out in Halloween decor! The kids walked the full mile that our street is and then some (since we also walked down driveways and sidewalks!). By the last house, the kids were done with walking and ready to go home to check out their loot.
