Halloween


This year we let Will decide what to dress up as at first it was an angry bird so I searched the Internet for a pattern to make our costumes finally found the perfect one and was about to purchase the fabric when he decided that he wanted to be Blu from the movie Rio. Since he was Blu he decided that I needed to be Linda and Bo needed to be "The Doctor" so thats what we went as. I used fabric for Will's costume out of a huge box of fabrics Bo's Grandma Nyleen found in her garage so it was Free I'm pretty proud of it because I didn't use a pattern just figured it out as I went. I was very lucky to find Bo's and my t-shirts and Bo's fake glasses in the Clearance section of Target and then I did freezer paper stencils on them for the logo so we spent a grand total of $7 on Halloween this year.



This is the inspiration for the yellow shirts

Will did Trick or Treating with his preschool on Thursday and the Trunk or Treat at the Church on Saturday so when actual Halloween came up I asked him if he wanted to go trick or treating and he said "No too much!" so we stayed home. The Sunday before Halloween we craved pumpkins we ended up with 4 pumpkins because Will brought one home from preschool. It was a good thing because one of them somehow rotted from the inside out so we couldn't carve it without it completely falling apart I gave Will a butter knife and let him dig holes into it while we carved.
