Happy Halloween!
We had such a fun time at Oscar's birthday party this weekend - I have tons of photos, but I still need to go through them, so I'll share party details later this week.
Meanwhile, want to see all of our costumes?
I made Jared a quick and easy robot costume by covering a large cardboard box in silver duct tape and cutting a bunch of vinyl decals with my Silhouette machine. He really hates dressing up for Halloween, but he was sweet to humor Oscar (and me) for the party.
You've already seen Oscar's pumpkin costume. It was too hot on Saturday to stuff him full, but we might try that for trick or treating tonight. He was such a happy birthday boy. The ear-to-ear smiles he wore all night made all the party prep worth it.
I made a pregnant pumpkin shirt with a simple freezer paper stencil and the new Martha Stewart Glitter Paint. Not an elaborate costume, I know, but it was about all I could muster and it made Oscar happy. We felt like a pretty cute pair of pumpkins.
I also made the costume for our friend Audrey (Oscar's party companion), as her birthday present. She loves Beauty and the Beast, so I made her a Belle dress using the Crafterhours tutorial again. Her baby sister wore Ruby's old Belle dress, so we had two little princesses running/crawling around the party.
I hope you have a very happy and safe Halloween! Don't make yourself sick with candy. :)
Here are the kids' costumes from previous years:
2010: Skeleton and Baby Aerobics Instructor
2009: Bluebird

Here's our happy gang all together. Ruby was Wonder Woman, and I am thrilled with how her dress came out. She even wore the accessories happily, which was a miracle. I'll post more on her outfit later.
