Renovating and decorating our new/old house, a cozy cape cod built in 1940. It won't happen overnight, so join me for the journey.
The first two years we got to decide what to dress her up as....
This is our little pea pod on her first Halloween.
The buzzing bee...
This is the year she wanted to be a mouse.
Then we had the year of Thomas the train...nothing but trains! Her creative Daddy made her the train costume and he was Sir Topham Hatt, director of the railway. All the boys were checking out her costume at the parade. One little boy dressed as Thomas insisted he have a picture with her, it was really cute.
She won a prize that year.
This year we have a black spider. I snapped a couple not so great pictures tonight; she was so excited because she got to try it on for the first time. Her Daddy sewed the legs into her spider web skirt and a friend did the spider applique. What are your costume plans? I would love to know!
Update 10/31/10
We had a great time trick or treating but the little spider's favorite part of the day was handing out the candy!
We used a fluffy tutu under her spider web skirt to make the legs stand out a little more...much better.
Great minds think alike! Check out my son's first costume- hee!

So cute! I love the spider!!! I was just looking at the little ones previous costumes, i can't part with any of them... this year Logan is a cowboy, Emma is Alice in Wonderland, and Kate is Lady Gaga... I have had so much fun making the girls's costumes. Have a Happy Halloween!

So darn cute! My 1 and 3 year olds were bees last year. Brings back such great memories. Love the pictures.
ReplyDeleteShe is so cute!!!
ReplyDeleteMy hubs loves Halloween and creating / making costumes, he does every year. I usually wear a store bought. This year I'm a pumpkin, the little one is Spider-Man, and I have yet to be let in on the secret that is the hubs costume . . .
Happy Halloween!
Your hubby rocks! He "sewed" the legs onto her skirt and made that train?! Whoa, daddy of the year. Seriously, your daughter is adorable! She's the happiest spider I've ever seen:) James is going to be a pumpkin. I think I bought the outfit in August- ha!
ReplyDeleteso inspired!
ReplyDeleteLove all the costumes! She is sure to have a great time as a spider this year. Way to go dad!!
ReplyDeleteSo cute! I love the creativity and the fact that your husband is involved with it. We're not dressing up this year but my best outfit was three years ago--I went as Ugly Betty and my hubby figured out how to make braces using earring backs and they looked pretty realistic. My respect goes out to all those who do put together a costume though--it's a lot of work!
ReplyDeletehow adorable! i esp. love the little train costume. have fun this weekend and happy halloween.
