Happy November 1st; I hope everyone had a fabulous Halloween. I had a first, NOT ONE trick-or-treater; I usually get 2 or 3. What shall I do with all of these Milky Ways, hmmm? Guess I'll have to put them in the freezer. Today Heather & Stephanie, the SITS girls are sponsoring a Halloween Parade. What a great way to get ideas for next year's costumes.
My sister has made almost all of her kids' costumes for the past 14 years. I have pictures of many of them, and thought I'd give you a look in chronological order.
2 very scary skeletons
A pair of smiling crayons in their favorite colors
A scary scarecrow & bat
This is my favorite year! She even made me a fireman costume!
Pulled out the scarecrow and bat again, but different kids are wearing them.
For more trick or treaters, visit SITS where the Halloween Parade is in full swing!

The boys think they're too old for dressing up now, but last year J & her friend J were a speedbump and a caution sign.
Their soccer team was also in a tournament where all the players and coaches wore costumes.
K made the costumes for all of the Eagles, and even one for the coach!
This year J&J are back as a clothesline! Very simple to make, and easy to wear over heavy clothes if it's a hot night, like all of these costumes are. As you can tell, I am very proud of how clever my sister is; you should see the birthday parties and cakes she does!

You didn't have ONE trick or treater? What a let down. Sort of like having a party and nobody comes.
ReplyDeleteThis is precisely why I buy candy I like. If they don't want it, I'll eat it.
I'm lovin the clothesline! How creative your sister (and you!) are.
We didn't have one trick or treater either. Now I have to eat that candy and my boys candy :)
ReplyDeleteLove all the costumes. The speed bump cracked me up.
Happy Halloween Parade!
I'm quite partial to those two cute little crayons!
ReplyDeleteStopping by from SITS!

ReplyDeleteThanks you for visiting my blog. Sorry it took me so long to get back to you. I got buried under thousands of e-mails and 4 sick kiddos all while we were out of town.
I look forward to getting to know you better. Come by tonight for a fun tutorial.

We only had 5! I put most of the candy in a bag for dh to take to work tomorrow. They have a big office with a candy jar. (Course I ate 2 bars first!)
ReplyDeleteLove the costume parade.

People don't celebrate Halloween where I live, so no trick or treat :( A bit sad that we miss some events important in different part of the world, but luckily we have some traditions here in Estonia too :)
ReplyDeleteJust stopping by. Great costumes!! And cute kids.
ReplyDeleteWhat beautiful costumes! I LOVE the Snow White soccer coach!
ReplyDeleteHomemade costumes are the best if they're made well like that. She's done a great job all these years!
ReplyDeleteJustine :o )
Happy after Halloween dear girl. :) Your sister is very clever, and the 5 Sisters love handmade costumes as we've made all of ours too. I'll have to tell Sister S about the clothesline. She'll flip when she sees it! xxoo
ReplyDeleteLove the costume parade. Thanks for sharing this post.
