We had a successful day!!! Most of the area took today off from trick or treating due to weather conditions so we just had a party at our house with some close friends! We did go to our neighbors for some candy though! A lot of people will be out tomorrow trick or treating so I'm sure we will have knocks on our door!
I'm so happy to share some of the pictures I took today! I wanted to base our costumes off of books this year so Eva Mae is a rubber duck from Eric Carle's 10 Little Rubber Ducks!
Isn't she a cute rubber duck?!
I didn't make her costume because someone was selling this adorable set for $5! It even came with feet (but she wouldn't wear them!)
I had her wear the dress and leggings I made from the Riley Blake knit stripe and I think she looks like Big Bird!
I am so proud of Christian's costume! He is Corduroy the Bear!
I DID make everything for his costume and I will also post a tutorial and pattern for the hat! I did some changes and modifications from an old paper pattern to make the hood and I love how it turned out! The brown fabric is velvet and his pants are a light green corduroy! I think it turned out perfect!
My mother-in-law was AWESOME in helping me with food! We went on Pinterest and saw these adorable ideas!
Clementines with little celery stems to make pumpkins!
Take cheeze-wiz and make a cracker sandwich sticking pretzels in the middle and adding raisins for eyes! (Well, I guess they're technically insects since they're missing 2 legs!) ;-)
We had so much fun with our close friends and parents!
Next year I think we've decided that we'll do a Peter Pan theme! I think Christian will make a perfect Peter Pan and daddy even said he'll dress up as Captain Hook!!!
I hope you all had a fun day too!
