Haloween Pictures... At Last

Here are the Halloween pictures. First, here are their coordinating trick or treat bags. About halfway through this project I decided that I went a little overboard to line and quilt bags for them that they would use once but the girls loved that they matched their costumes!



Here are my cuties on Halloween:



Can anyone else believe how old Macy is getting???








And this is how they got to Trunk or Treat at our church. Fortunately, their costumes fit over their coats pretty well and there wasn't 6 inches of snow on the ground like there was last year. By this time the girls had worn their costumes several times and Macy's was getting trashed so it didn't look fabulous but it was good enough for her. Earlier in the week I had thrown a little Halloween party with some of our friends (camera died half way through so no pictures) so they could enjoy being in costume for more than just on Halloween. They also got to dress up for dance class (where Macy's costume really got destroyed) on Thursday. Overall, they had a lot of fun!

Haloween Night Videos

We went to our friend's house for a Halloween party Saturday night (after Trunk or Treating) and the girl- who were the only kids there, had a blast. We ate, played games while the girls cheered us on and had lots of fun. As we were about to leave our friends pulled out a pinata and dangled it from the upstairs balcony. They decided to let Macy and Kylie go first but everyone thought it was so funny watching them whip Little Bo Peep's cane around (that was the bat we used) that we watched for 20 minutes as Macy tried to destroy that pirate. I don't remember the last time we laughed so hard. Around the end she started "ducking and covering" as the pinata would get close to her head and that made it even funnier. More pictures of the girls in costume to come later. Enjoy!

Liar, Liar

Halloween Preview

Between Conference sessions today I made Kylie her Halloween costume. it isn't complete yet (I want to go back and buy a couple more of the big dots and I need to get her a black headband) but you can get an idea. I will also give her a black nose when we dress her up to go party. This was fun, easy and super cheap.
On a related note, this is the first time I have used my sewing machine in four months! Between moving (twice), unpacking and enjoying out wonderful summer, it got put on the back burner but now I am excited to start up again (although not as much as before because I have the whole other blog thing taking up my time) and start making Christmas presents.

Cheerleader Kylie

I went int he bathroom to "go" and Kylie walks in as soon as I sit down. She grabbed her stool and sat down on it right in front of me. Then she said:
"I watch you go potty Mommy."
Eyeroll... "Ok Kylie" Why bother fighting for privacy anymore?
Then a second later Kylie starts clapping and cheering:
"Yay Mommy! You peed! Do you want a cookie?"

Maybe you had to be there but I couldn't stop laughing...

Macy and Kylie: "Dancing Queens"

Here are some pictures of Macy at her dance class. She loves it and gets so excited for it every week. Kylie is in a dance class/ preschool program at the place too and Macy gets to tag along to that one for free, which is nice. Kylie's requires parent participation which is why I have no pictures from that one... guess I will have to take some next Thursday.

Sorry about 1 picture being there twice and the random fair picture- I couldn't get them to delete. Enjoy the video of Kylie dancing!

And my coupons site was nominated for a little award, which is nice! I know we won't win but the exposure is nice so go here to vote if you want to take the second to do it!
