Halloween Fun

Shelly decided she wanted to be an ice cream cone for Halloween. So, I got to work putting together a costume for her. 

It included a tan skirt from Forever 21, a white t-shirt cut to represent dripping ice cream with felt sprinkles added, and a headband with a red styrofoam ball and a red pipe cleaner for the cherry on top. It was an easy and cute costume for a middle schooler.

Lily's face = she should have dressed up as a character from Hamilton! 

She had fun trick or treating in a new neighborhood with new friends. Lily went with us while John stayed home and gave out candy.

We also dressed Fynley in a fun set of black wings. Her coloring made her the perfect little bat.

It was a successful Halloween.

Roarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

I'm making a Halloween costume for Lily. Even though she's not really of the trick or treating age she still likes to dress up when the neighborhood gets together. 

So, I'm creating a lion costume for her. It seemed only fitting that a girl with tons and tons of hair that flows in the wind should be a lion for Halloween.

Here is the costume, so far:

A store bought shirt and I'm adding the fur trim. The brown part are a pair of leggings.

Fur cuffs for the sleeves

Fur ears attached to a headband

The ears and a suede and fur trimmed tail that I made

The fluffy tail

Poofy tulle skirt with three shades of browns/tans

More photos to come once the costume is complete and Lily is wearing it. Stay tuned!

We went to a neighborhood Halloween party on Saturday night. Shelly decided to go with the 60s Go Go girl costume for this party. Lily played it a bit more low-key with a witches hat. I guess 6th graders are a bit too cool to dress up for a Halloween party. It was a fun time. No pictures of John and me, but we were an old man policeman and a bunny.
