Trick or Treat

Wow putting together that oh so cute costume that will get all the looks is hard work. With a lot of creativity we did it. We came up with what I would call an original idea. We went to the mall for trick or treating tonight and well he was the only one dressed like him and he got all the looks.
So what was he.


Did you figure it out? Well I hope so cause everyone tonight got it right. Well almost. One guy thought he was Justin Timberlake (UGH). I guess we will never shop at Macy's again. He's our little gangster (or mobster). All night we got people looking at him going "aww a gangster", "look at the gangster", "he's so cute". Of course Ethan was the charmer which helped in the candy department considering about all the people handing out candy were female. He said trick or treat and thank you about each and every time. On our way to our car we had some people behind us commenting on him and they wanted to have there kids to dress like Ethan for Halloween. I was quite pleased with his costume this year.


His hat was a little big but it didn't seem to bother him at all


He was so good at the mall. We never had any problems and he was having fun looking and pointing out the costumes there. This was our second year doing this and I believe we will be doing it again. Maybe next year Kevin and I will wear a costume to at the mall since parents were dressed up to. It was interesting but fun. Halloweens not over yet though I am sure to have more pictures to come as we have a party to go to next.

Pimpkin Time

Ok so it was that time of the yer when we got our pumpkin to carve. Now being the person I am there is no way I would do a traditional pumpkin. I am a out of the box thinker. So i saw this picture of these pumpkins and hey I thought I would give it a try. So these are some pictures of Ethan helping to clean out the seeds and then the end results of my creative pumpkin.
Its helpfull to have a little hands to get all those stubern seeds out. He was actually having a great time doing this. He would run around and announce that he had a seed or two when he pulled them out each time.
It's a black kitty. Ya I cant do traditinal. I spray painted it glossy black. Then used felt to make ears, tail, and a color wich has rhinstones on it. There are also rhinestones around the eyes to make them stand out more and to help them glow in the dark better.
The picture is a little grainny but this is what it looks like at night.
Just wanted to show off the Halloween wreath I made for this year. I did the whole thing from scratch I even decorated the skull. It was a good result.
