Happy Halloween 2011!

 Here are the creepy witches!

We went down for the downtown business trick-or-treating, then we went to a few neighborhood houses. Pixie was pretty tired when we started the second half, she also didn't want to wear her hat, but she had a blast eating candy after we came home. I even got to hand some candy out. Our old house didn't get any kids coming around. It was fun!

Riding her broomstick...

I love her face in this picture!

Being creepy.

My 17 week baby bump...or lump. :)
I've been feeling the baby a lot the past week. That's fun and a little weird.

Halloween Trick-or-Treat Bag Craft

I saw this trick-or-treat bag at Williams Sonoma's online store and I thought it was adorable. I knew I could make my own! Well, I didn't do it until today. I was in kind of a hurry, so some things aren't exact or to scale, but I think it came out pretty darn cute! 

Here is my version:

Halloween Craft - Candy Corn!

Look at what else I did! Wow, I'm on a roll. Today has been the best day I have had in a long time. I felt a little icky here and there, nearly tossed my cookies when catching up on dishes, but after that I felt pretty decent. 

I saw this Halloween craft idea the same time as my luminaries craft. I decided that I could sew it out of felt (since I have a lot of it). I noticed that there was something different about her product, then googled an image of candy corn to be correct. Yes, I was right. The colors were out of order. I like to be pretty accurate when I make something to look like a real product.

Here's the finished door hanger! I cannot find either of my door hooks to save my life, so I didn't get to photograph it in it's proper place.

Hallo-Weekend! ~Saturday~

 Saturday morning Pixie opened a Halloween card, specifically address to her from Grandma Maridee and Papa Bear (Dennis). She was so excited for her "present". It was cute. I'm going to keep it and scrapbook it with the pictures of her costume this year.

 Saturday was also Aunt Becca's 32nd birthday. Yes Becca, I posted your AGE! Hehe.

We had been wanting to go to an Indian restaurant that Sam loves, so we took her to the buffet for her birthday. It was nice and yummy, although a bit too spicy for both Becca and Scott.

Then we got ready for the church Fall Festival and the Tinker Bell costume came out again. This time with more sparkles, er...pixie dust. She helped me put it on.

 This is one of those twins I posted about in the last post.

 And here's the other one.

 This is their beautiful mama, Jamie. She has 5 children and is amazing. Pixie adores her, making her the first person outside of our family that she really looks up to. She likes to talk about her and I can get her to do things like not scream while I wash her hair, just by saying Jamie would like it. It's great.

 You can see all the 'pixie dust' she painted onto her eye lids. She tries to put make up on already too.

 This is an awesome friend that I served in YW with for a short time. She's from Venice, but also has lived in Brazil, so she and Scott speak Portuguese together. She's hilarious.

 Here are some of Becca's kids, "the cousins" as we call them with Pixie.

 And this is a brand new baby girl, only 4 days old. I've been her mama's visiting teacher since I've been married and she's the 3rd child born within that time!

 After the ward party, we went over to Becca's for birthday cake and ice cream. Scott went to work at 9pm and we played for a little while longer, before heading home for bed.

Hallo-Weekend! ~Friday~

 Friday, after the bittersweet dealings with selling the lake house in the last post, we returned home and got ready for a Halloween party at a friend's house. Scott got work off until midnight, so that was nice.

Pixie was Tinker Bell. As if she could be anything else! I'm pretty sure this was the only thing she would wear. Have I mentioned she is already picky about what she wears? Yeah, at 2 1/2. I'm in for it!

 She was upset that the slippers wouldn't stay on, so we wore regular shoes. Pink of course!

 Scott was an old west sheriff (or could pass as Walker Texas Ranger!) and I was his squaw.

 We stopped by Becca's so she could take pictures of us. Pixie did not like leaving her cousin.

 One of the guys from our ward. He's actually the YM President, but this obviously wasn't a church party! This is one of his twins. They were Micky and Minnie Mouse.

 Pixie had a blast running around the yard. It was dark and cold out, but they had swings! She never complained of the cold.. She's getting so much more used to people and will play with other kids now. It's nice. When we pulled up I saw all the scary decorations, music, masks, etc and thought she would freak. She didn't cry once!

 I decided to warm up by doing a fire dance.

 We didn't plan on Scott having the kiss on his cheek, but I was trying out my red lipstick for my second costume and gave him a kiss. We decided to leave it and just say he was in a saloon.

Funny thing was, Scott ran into Walmart after the party and completely forgot about the kiss on his cheek. When I reminded him, he remarked how that's why he was getting smiles and nods from everyone in the store!
