Halloween

Halloween was a blast this year, I will be posting pictures very soon. 

Garrett wanted to be Luke Skywalker again and since that meant $0 for a costume, I was not about to argue!  I saw a really cute witch costume at the Halloween store, for Payton, but did not like the $39.99 price tag, so I asked around and was able to borrow an adorable tutu and witches hat.  Since I wasn't sure she'd keep the hat on, I searched for something I could put on a shirt for her and found some witches shoes, they were perfect, I ironed them on then had to stitch the edges of it, but her costume cost me $7!  $3.50 for the shirt and $3.50 for the decal.

We had 2 Halloween themed birthday parties this year, so they were both able to wear their costumes a bunch this year.  The Saturday before Halloween we decided to go downtown (it was kind of a flop, I doubt we'll go again), but it was a bit cool for just a short sleeve shirt, so Payton went as Yoda and it was a huge hit!  People stopped us to ask if they could take pictures of her.  And with Garrett being Luke Skywalker, it was just a great combo.  Sunday, we went to the George Bush Library (again, I probably won't do it again, a lot of waiting around for not much fun), she went as Yoda again and got her picture taken for The Eagle's website.

Monday was warm so we went with our witch costume and she was adorable!  Even wore her hat a bunch.  Garrett loved being Luke again, and was SO excited for trick or treating, but I think he was so hyper he wore himself out pretty fast, lol!  We didn't go to very many houses, but honestly, it was fine.  We didn't end up with a TON of candy and we got to go home and help Matt pass out candy.  Garrett ended up at the neighbors house and Payton ha a blast chasing people down to put candy in their bags.

All in all, it was great fun!
