Halloween 2011
What a beautiful success!!!
It is rare when you have six children for everything to just go well at all! So I was not surprised when my car battery died the week before Halloween. I had not finished any of the kids costumes, and had planned on spending the entire week tying up loose ends. My wonderful husband was finally able to fix my suburban the Saturday before Halloween. But by then I had been canning grape juice the entire day and was just beat. So when Halloween Monday rolled around I was reinvigorated. My amazingly awesome friend watched Freja so that I could run to Walmart with the other 3. Trenton and Semaj' were spending the Halloween with their dad in Henderson, NV, so I had 2 less costumes to be concerned with.
I bought Anton a pair of slacks for $3 at DI (2nd hand store). We already had a suit jacket that didn't fit anybody and an incredible hulk costume in our dress up box.
I had my heart set on Brynja being a clown since I had taken Semaj' to the circus earlier this year. The only things I purchased for Brynjas costume were the fuzzies on her pants and shirt sleeves $1, the pipe cleaners in her hair $1 and the suspender material for $4.49.
And they were perfection....
I honestly didn't know what I wanted Braun to be until the day of. I was looking for something classic, easy and WARM! I found this sweat suit at Walmart for $9 and WALA...
I found this sweet little costume at a yard sell and it fit her perfectly. Yeah for yard sells and keeping an eye out months before Halloween $3 Little Lamb!
My favorite picture of the year!
She is so funny and popped this pose all by herself.
I was so so so proud of her costume and she was a die hard trick or treater. We were our hours after Anton and the others had tired and gone home. I thanked her several times for making Mommies Halloween so wonderful. She makes me happy!
Cheap and Easy! My kind of Halloween!!!
