Halloween

The weekend before Halloween was a busy one with Halloween parties, trunk or treats, and activities for the kids. We went to Riverbend Farm with some families from church.

For Halloween Arden was Marina from The Fresh Beat Band. I lucked out finding a dress the same color as Marina's and we already had the leggings so I just had to make the belt.

In case you couldn't tell, Easton was an Oompa Loompa.

I had a time finding a brown or white turtleneck that didn't have ruffles or pleats. Also- it's almost impossible to find white sweatpants. I finally found a white Carolina Panthers turtleneck and dyed it brown and my mom picked up some grey sweatpants that I tried to bleach. They took forever to get white and when they did, they were totally eaten up by the bleach. oops. I had to settle for white leggings, but they didn't look too bad.

I made his suspenders and buttons and painted the stripes on the shirt and socks.

Easton won best costume at two different events. I must say he did rock it.

Easton loved trick or treating and it was so fun watching him go to houses. He wasn't scared at all and pulled Arden out of her shell. If he didn't think he got enough candy, he wouldn't leave the porch.
