Couples Halloween Party

This is the second annual Halloween couples party that us and a few other couples started doing. It is so much fun to get all dressed up and party! This year, I decided that I wanted to try to be Martha Stewart and create our costumes. I have always thought that Craig looked like Fred Flinstone, so I decided that that was what we were going to be. I went to Goodwill and lucky me, I found a ton of orange fabric, just waiting to be made into this costume. It was meant to be. I also found a white sheet for my costume. Price for all this $3.00. Then I went to the fabric store and found some black felt for $2.00 for Craig's spots, and some leopard print fuzzy fabric for my shawl. Price $5.00. I found a can of red hairspray at Walmart for $2.00 and borrowed the beads for my necklace and bracelet. I also just happened to have a strip of blue fleece in my fabric box for the tie. So, I went home to create this creation. I don't claim to be handy with a sewing machine, or claim to know how to create something out of nothing, but that is exactly what I did. I found a pattern that I had brought years ago for some scrubs and used that as a guideline, but by no means, did it fit what I was making. I am pretty happy with how they turned out. Craig loved his costume, and I did too.

These are our friends Kevin and Alison Quinn, aka Prince Charming and Snow White. The crazy thing is that they put this entire costume together in just a few hours!

Library Halloween Party

Peyton and Jackson have been going to our local library on Thursdays for story time and each week they have a different theme. Peyton LOVES story time. They usually have show-and-tell at the beginning each week and Peyton loves it. If we by chance forget to bring something, he usually can find something that he wants to talk about. He loves to have someone to talk to. Today's story time was all about Halloween and they had a party afterwords. The kids got to dress up. It was so much fun seeing all the costumes. Peyton was Darth Vader and Jackson was Yoda. They had a blast.

Too bad I didn't take anymore pictures. These don't really do much do they?

Halloween downtown

This year for Halloween my good friend Jess and her family came with us downtown Mount Airy to take the kids trick-or-treating. Peyton loved the fact that if he looked cute, smiled and stuck out his bag that people would give him candy. He even got really good at remembering to say thankyou, or rather signing it. It looks like he is blowing a kiss when he signs thankyou so the ladies were eating it up! It was fun, plus the weather was so nice and sunny. Much better than taking him out at night. Really no point to that anyways!

Peyton attempting to push Griffin around. Griffin is Peyton's buddy Noah's baby.

Here is Peyton and Craig and Noah with his Daddy Ammon walking downtown on Halloween.

These two boys are best friends. They both ask for eachother everyday. Peyton used to call Noah No-No, but can now say Noah. Now he thinks that our backdoor neighbors house that he can now see because it is not covered in leaves, is Noah's house and he says, Hi Noah's house, all the time.

This was as close as we could get to Peyton wearing his batman mask

These two crack me up.

Noah was such a cute little golfer!

My little batman

Batman!

Peyton was batman for Halloween this year. He actually was going to be a dragon, but he wouldn't wear the costume, then he was going to be elmo, but same thing, so Batman he was. He actually didn't mind wearing this at all. At first he didn't like the sleeves and wouldn't wear the hat, but then he quickly forgot about it.

I think he is the cutest batman around!

Peyton loves pumpkins. He has learned how things are heavy and loves to say "Heavy" while exaggerating how heavy they are. He even says his cheerios are heavy. Silly Boy.

I love how it looks like his is wearing a huge black diaper!

We never got around to carving our pumpkins. Maybe this weekend?
