Halloween Festivities!

We have had a great Halloween full of good food, costumes, candy, and fun!

We started out with our Ward Trunk or Treat...and our costumes rocked!
May I introduce Mary Poppins, Bert, Jane and Michael Banks!

Next we hit up the Zollinger's party with the kids...
Good food, pumpkin carving, face painting, and lots of fun games!!




Then we made an appearance at Kevin's Halloween office party and won Most Creative Costume :)
I made Bert's scarf and his chimney sweep with pipe cleaners, duct tape, hot glue, and a painters pole. And his soot is really from our fireplace!


I love the idea of Reagan crawling around Kevin's office! 

Colin makes a cute Michael Banks!
 

This is what Jane and Michael's costumes are based on:

I made Colin's shorts and his kite...

 Unfortunately, my sewing skills are not quite up to making Jane's dress...but Nana was definitely up to the task!  I just told her which dress to make, and tada!!
She was able to whip up her dress and it is just so perfect!
From the collar to the fabric to the scalloped edge...I just love this dress!

 Off to trick or treat!
As for my costume, I made my bow tie and my hat and my mom supplied the umbrella (she was MP a few years ago)

Isn't Julie Andrews beautiful as Mary Poppins? 

Aren't these the cutest little trick or treaters?
 

 

I think we are all Halloweened out!

Blase Family Farm

What an amazing time of year!
I can't tell you how happy I am to wear scarves, pants, and sweaters!
No more showing off pale legs in swimsuits that hardly flatter - my pale skin was meant for the fall!

We had another fun outing with friends and headed to Rockwall's Blase Family Farm to feed longhorns (that's just how we roll in Texas!), go for a hayride, have a picnic lunch, and run around the hay maze!


I love these kids! 





Little besties!
