The Day after Halloween


I hope you all had a great halloween. I know we did. I was working on my costumes all week and even up until the very last minute. Talk about stressful. The pirate shirt was a pain. It wasn't that hard but I was talking and sewing at the same time so, I did more unpicking than I like to do. Stupid mistakes!! LOL! Anyway, it turned out well and Ben made a perfect pirate. He's been wearing his costume all day and all night for three days now. I'm pretty certain he wore it to bed last night and his mom may have a hard time getting him to change clothes for church today too!!! LOL!


Here's my DD in the great STEAMPUNK costume that she put together. She made all of the jewelry too. You're probably all asking your yourselves what's Steampunk?

Well, you can go here to her blog if you want to learn more about steampunk.

Natalie's family had a great time dressing up for Halloween this year and even Nick got in to it. Some of you may recognize his character but just in case your don't. He's Naruto Uzumaki, an ongoing Japanese Manga series written and illustrated by Masashi Kishimoto. Nick served an LDS mission to Japan for two years and Natalie took Japanese in High School and likes to dray anime so they both love all things from Japan.

The awesome picture was taken by her good friend Michelle.

Benjamin was so excited about Halloween this year that he would hardly hold still and I was lucky to get a few good pictures. He was bouncing around everywhere and he hadn't even eaten any candy yet.


Going down a scary path. . .

That was fun.
They even gave me candy.


He was really into saying Trick or Treat this year and even said it before anyone even answered the door. Here's a sad face because no one was home at this house.

Here's a close up of the glitter tattoo that her Auntie did for her.

Here I am with my friend Shari who was giving out baby M & M's. I'm dressed as a Momma Hippie since Kenna went as a hippie. My Ariel told me that I looked more like a Hawaiian Tourist. Oh, well. That's the best I could do with the time I had.


Here are just a few other links to Halloween Posts and Costumes that I enjoyed.

Loved the costumes, they turned out adorable. Ben and Cora are so cute!
Natalie makes a great Steampunk!!! I loved reading her blog the other day and learning about steampunks.
Kena's Hippie outfit was darling. Seeing her brought back memories of those days growing up.

Thanks for the plug. Tell your cute daughter that I think she looked very GROOVY. Peace, love, man. (Hey, I was raised near Haight Ashbury).
Looks like you had a great Halloween. I wish I lived close enough to see my grandsons last night. I really missed being near children.

Great costumes! Happy Halloween!

Cindy said...

Kenna looks just like a "real" hippie. And her momma, I have to agree - a Hawaiian tourist...LOL

I'm ROFLOL!!! Love all the costumes. And, Ursula - too perfect. I'd never thought of that one.

Fun costumes. You did a great job on the pirate shirt. Deadlines are sometimes really hard for stress, but you pulled through.

Kim I loved all your pictures. I am glad you got a picture of Ursula. I wanted to get her picture that day and Candice forgot to tell me when she got back. Our janitor was a crack up that day. I loved how he never went out of character with the part he was playing. I liked our picture but I think you forgot to use photo shop and take 20 pounds off of me. However Thanks for including me on your blog. I feel special.

Wonderful to see all in their costumes. They all looked so great and you did a wonderful job making everything and keeping it together. I wondered why you didn't seem quite like yourself on Tuesday and your exhaustion explains it all! Take a long nap! Hugs
