Happy Halloween!

We had a great Halloween. Earlier this year I saw a picture floating around on pinterest...

As soon as I saw it, I knew I had to do something like that for Kennedi!  So with a little help from Dena, and a little help from my hubby, and a lot of patience on my part, I came up with this!

Ok, that's a really bad washed out picture!!  I promise it's cute!!  My favorite part is the "hat" as Kennedi kept calling it...

I just used a bunch of scraps and fabrics and buttons I had laying around.  It was a super fun project, and as soon as I saw it on her, it made all the effort worth it!!

The first debut was at Kai's Kindergarten Parade/Party.  The whole school lines up and marches around the school to show off their costumes.  So funny.  So of course, Kennedi needed to dress up too, and all the kids loved her!  They had just learned about owls a few weeks before, so it was very fitting!

 

Here's Kai, marching around as Optimus Prime.  He went through about 12 costume ideas before he settled on a transformer.  This is the same costume as two years ago...thank goodness we bought it big so we didn't have to pay for the same costume twice!

A few more pics of the afternoon....

Then we came home for a dinner of too spicy chili :( and yummy cornbread and then headed to the church trunk or treat.  Kennedi was HILARIOUS.  We were setting up our trunk and the treat bowl was on the ground...she started taking the treats from the bowl and putting it in her bucket, it was hilarious!  So we started around to the other cars and she would hold up her bucket for the candy, check to make sure it got in there and then move on to the next car.  It was so funny.  So a few pictures of the trunk or treat....

Cameron and I like to dress in themes together....so since Kennedi was an owl, I was a bird watcher, and Cameron thought it would be hilarious to be a bird hunter.  I was less than amused.

 

After the trunk or treat we headed to our favorite neighborhood for some trick or treating, then over to Dena's for a post-trick or treating party!  She made the coolest dip ever, it's a spinach/artichoke dip...but just look at it!!

All in all it was a great night!  It was so fun to see Kennedi with her first real halloween experience, and of course, Kai loved it all, it's always fun to do stuff like that with him.  Well, I'm off to go raid the stash!!!
