Halloween Fun!

I hope everyone had fun on Halloween despite the fact that it was on a Monday. We made the best of it and took the kids to a local church who had "Trunk or Treats" with free food and bounce houses....the kids had a blast plus it was free!lol  We did a lot of our Halloween festivities on Saturday at my sisters house who had so much goodies and treats for us....and I loved her Halloween decor! Now that Halloween is over.....I am moving on to the next holiday that is just around the corner...Christmas! I know I didn't mention Thanksgiving....but because I like to have the house festive with Christmas decor before Thanksgiving......the couple of weeks will be dedicated to Christmas decor madness my husband calls craziness......My husband thinks I'm crazy because I put it up so earl.lol It takes me a week to finish...I just figure why not enjoy it longer!lol....ok...I'm crazy.lol Not to mention between now and then I have to throw a "Ben10" Birthday party for my son who is turning 5! Yay!.....I'm exhausted just thinking about it.lol Well...here are a few pictures of the costumes I created and some goodies I made for the Halloween fun!

I added the Ruff collar this year.

No...my bum is not that big....I had a hoop skirt on!hahaha!

There is nothing more rewarding than someone so excited to be a Power Ranger! When he was putting the costume on he was making sound effects like he was transforming.lol I never realized how hard it was to find the white ranger helmet! I could buy one on EBAY for over $200.00! Yikes!!! I was glad I was able to make one because he would have been so disappointed! How? Old pair of sunglassed, foam board, gold paper, LOTS and lots of duct tape!hahaha!

Fin the Human from Adventure Time! This was super easy to make....all I used was inexpensive felt.

This is the wig that her mother and I made!

Rapunzel dress.....the look on her face when she put the dress on was priceless! She loved it so much she never wanted to take it off....unless she was eating a Popsicle or pudding.lol!

My purple spooky eyeball monster cupcakes!

My spooky ghost cupcakes...which were super simple to make!
