Halloween

Now that it's almost Thanksgiving I thought I should hurry up post the girls Halloween pictures! I have waited a long time to be able to do the "theme" idea as so many families do with their children and this year I finally got to. Peyton as you can see was Alice and Addison was the Cheshire cat from Alice in Wonderland. Peyton made a great Alice don't you think? I wanted so badly to go as the Queen of Hearts but the costume was just too expensive to justify buying it. I started watching eBay auctions back in August! The cheapest I saw it go for was about $100...I need to learn how to sew. The girls looked adorable and that's what really matters. Peyton's costume was purchased on eBay with the shoes for a great deal and I made her headband/bow. Addie's costume was a pair of pj's my sister Judi bought her. I made a tail by twisting together two shades of pink boa, stitched it onto the bottom of her jammies and made ears out of felt and tacked them onto a beanie for her.

I ended up having my eyes done up at Downtown Disney the night before and slept on my back. Yes...I really did! They did the main painting and I added the glitter, eyeliner, and mascara the next morning. We had a carnival at Peyton's school so I threw on my witches hat, cape, and shoes...the ones with the pointy toes and big buckle on them. The kids loved my "costume", my friend Michelle asked me why I wasn't wearing a costume...ha ha ha.

We had a great time at our friends house that night and while the kids were playing this is what they did to each other...

Peyton is in there somewhere!

By the end of the evening Addie was one tired little kitty...

And in case you are wondering about Jason...he did not participate in the festivities of dressing up BUT he did let the kids wrap him up like a Mummy at our nephew Aiden's Halloween party the week before!
