Mostly for the candy, but the kids in costumes come in a close second.
When we were in Disney World Anna asked me when we were going to meet "Princess Alison." I couldn't figure out who she was talking about until she said, "You know.....Alison Wonderland."
I knew immediately who she'd be for Halloween. I saw the perfect dress while we were there but it was $65, so I thought I'd try to make it instead. Ha ha. Funny thing is, I don't know how to sew. And then, when I checked out at the fabric store with all my goodies it was $40. I started laughing. So, after much effort, and not much savings, I finished the dress. It's a sorry sight really, but from a distance I think you can tell who she's supposed to be. But I think I'll stick to pillow cases and stuff from now on.
Grandma pulled through and sent Kate hers. Glad I didn't have to sew another one! If you ask her who she is, half the time she says "Ruby." I think she gets confused because of the Ruby slippers. Oh! And I went back to the creepy Pottery Factory to find Toto's basket. The place pulled through for me this time. And sorry Joni, I wasn't able to pick you up any gnomes.
I'll post a picture of Luke soon. Oh, he's a cutie, but I didn't get him into his "costume" until it was dark. Thankfully, there's still more candy to collect, so he'll be back.

What cuties. I love the dresses and you did a wonderful job Nicole. I love the candy too. I helped myself to a few pieces that Katelyn picked up at the ward Trunk or Treat. That candy gets me every time.
ah nic! they are adorable. and way to SEW the costume. but i have long since learned that you are the girl who can do anything! except, of course, finding some gnomes for me....:0)
miss you
love their costumes! what cute girls. :)
The Alice costume looks great...it looks like you can sew to me! We love the ruby slippers. Taytum was Dorothy a couple of years ago and she loved her red shoes. We are going with the Peter Pan theme this year...pictures to come. Thanks for sharing yours!
Wow, you can sew! I can't at all! Good job! Way to go!
I love Halloween because of the candy. I think we all love candy! It is fun to have kids go trick or treating, and I love to pick through their candy. I wonder when they will catch on. My mom always said she took some out and saved it for Christmas!
Can't wait to see Luke. Is that him in a devil outfit on cover of the blog?
Oh whatever Nicole, you can sew and do just about everything else. You are so crafty! Those are great costumes!
They are adorable. (Can I frame pictures of your kids for my house?) I used that same pattern last year when I made Dorothy for Jane. I sew all the time and it was nearly impossible. If you can sew that, you can sew anything. I swear, every other pattern I have used is ten times easier. WAY TO GO!
OH my gosh! My faves are anna standing on one foot, an the slipper shot on kate! LOVE THEM can't wait to see your little devil!
Love Love Love the costumes. I can't wait till I have a child who actually cares about the holiday...haha..you did a fabulous job on the dress. The picture of her dancing in the meadow is beautiful.
Wow, I'm so impressed with your sewing abilities! They look so cute. I love the Alison Wonderland reference :-)
Nicole these are GORGEOUS photos! Love them! She looks adorable!
Super cute! You are the girl that can do anything!
Nicole, anything you touch is beautiful- and the costumes are no different! Seeing your blog makes me want to get to know your girls so bad! (And of course, Luke)
Ummmm, you don't sew? I think I don't believe that for a second. Cute costumes and cute kids! Good job!
Aw shut up! You can to sew! That is a great costume you made. Your girls look great, they are so cute :)
They both look darling! You did a great job on that costume. I know what you mean about spending a lot on costumes when you're trying to save. . . . One year I think I spent $80 on three costumes and justified making them because I thought I'd be saving money . . . But $80 isn't very cheap. Well, there's something to be said for making them, right?
Oh,,,,,,so so so cute. I love it.
Oh, your girls are so stinkin' cute. I can't sew either - I feel your pain. I love the pic of Anna doing an arabesque in the forest. So dang cute.
could they be any cuter??? and i'm very impressed with your skills...though not at all surprised!
