All Hallows Eve

Fairies unite!



We carved our pumpkins the day before. Rhett did the buck tooth pumpkin, I did the middle and Maeryn's which is at the end, I carved it in haste because it was really tough to carve. They quickly disintegrated in 2 days. I've never seen anything decay so fast. It was totally gross.


And Decorated mostly the day of:) Not to much spooky going on but we did play Halloween sounds at night for the trick or treaters. It sounded creepy anyways:)



The enchanted rose fairy who looks like she's ready for some candy:)


Lots of jewel it glue, tweezers and a Leatherman to set the gems. Sometimes I stop myself and ask "why?". But then again I don't really mind, I know she likes her sparkle:)



She's as pretty as a rose. I just want to munch on those cheeks!



I don't know why the pretty little sweet fairy has a rock in her hand and a mischievous look on her face but it makes me laugh.





This makes me laugh too:) Look at those teeth I couldn't deny her candy she might bite me:)







I find these next photo's to be some of my favorites...

















Enter the gladiator....(I'm glad I bought this costume for Rhett, "I am gladiator.") I don't know how tough he looks holding that rose.









Funny enough we carted her door to door in her buggy to cover more ground. Maeryn is the slowest walker I know:) She didn't mind being carted around but I told Rhett people might think there's something wrong with her legs. We did let her out for the last couple of houses.

Maeryn enjoyed her sweet loot and so have we:)


Enter Sparkly fairy #2...



Halloween is one of my favorite holidays and I hope it will be one of Maeryn's too.


After we had gotten back from trick or treating we got ready to give out our candy. We really like to do this but unfortunately in the mix of everything Halloween our toilet overflowed all over the bathroom floor and I found myself running next door to borrow the neighbors plunger, in my costume no less. We couldn't find the plunger for a good 30 minutes, oh and I got to see my 80 year old neighbor in his underwear briefly, no pun intended, I'd have to say it was odd. That aside, we found the elusive plunger and I ran as fast as my fairy feet could take me back to the house. Said plunger didn't work, but glad we had a shop vac. Poor Rhett made his back sore vacuuming all the water off the floor. Since then our toilet has been fixed. They had to gut it and put new parts in. We had a great Halloween overall and now I can think of turkey and stuffing, thankfully it's not as involved:)

I love her little tutu dress. Did you make that????? And when are you going to sell some? :) I love Halloween too. And the older the kids get, the better it gets.

Yes, I made the tutu dress. I got the idea off of someone else on Etsy. Their dress was like $230.00 so I made something similar. If there's interest I may try to sell some. I think Halloween is a hoot! Can't wait for the years to come:)

Maeryn is such an adorable little fairy, and that costume is just perfect! The wings are awesome, I like that you "embelished" them yourself. Nice job, very crafty :)

Kimo said...

Love both the fairy costumes! What a cute idea!

Rachel said...

so pretty. I LOVE that costume. you're amazing. Maybe you should add costume design to your bubby love site. I love the visual of you in your fairy costume prancing through the neighborhood spreading cheer and searching for a plunger :)

Maeryn looks so cute! I would say the tweezers and leatherman action were worth it for how well everything turned out. I love the tutu dresses. I paid like $15 for just a tutorial on how to make those a while back and then I found tutorials for free of course after that! And I have yet to make one of course. Maybe if I get started now, I can get a costume done for Aubrey by next Halloween...
