As my friend Kirsten says, “It’s not Halloween unless your living room is covered in fabric.” Well, this year I sewed four costumes, three of which I didn’t have a pattern for. And yes, my house is a disaster. But the effort was well worth it.
Dorothy’s dress was a pain in the tush. The pattern had so many pieces and was sewn in a weird way. But this girl had so much fun. And you should see her loot! That basket was FULL!
The Teeny Tiny Tin Man was the hit of the party. And I have to admit he looks awfully sweet.
It took a great deal of scrubbing to return my skin to it’s normal color. I drew the line at painting my arms and hands though. How am I supposed to snitch candy from the kids if my hands are covered in disgusting paint?!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!

Cute, cute! We did the same theme! Only, I was the lion, Sean the tin man and Channing the scarecrow. Too funny!
Love it! Terrific job on the costumes. I would have given your super cute kids loads of candy! Have I mentioned that I love this blog?!
ok I am an idiot and posted that last comment with my sisters username… it’s really just me–whit!
Glad you clarified that, Whitney…I was wondering who on earth Kristen was. haha! 🙂
Hey Jennifer! You guys are so cute! I’m seriously impressed you sewed all those costumes! I’m excited you have your blog! This is a good idea, you have lots of great ideas on here! I’m going to have to come back and read through it more!
That is such a good idea. I’m so impressed with your sewing skills. Jennifer you really look kind of freaky! It brought back some childhood nightmares from that movie!!
Yea, some of the little kids were scared of me. One little boy just kept staring. I bet if I had said boo, he would have wet himself.
The things you get rich to do still amaze me Jenn! You guys look great.. Grant makes Sadie look like such a big girl!
Very cute costumes!
I love being mentioned on someone else’s blog. It makes me feel famous. Great job on the costumes! This was one of our ideas for this year, but without a little girl I would have had to be Dorothy, and I would so much rather be the witch. 😉 WELL DONE!
oh my heck you had a baby! You guys look great!
Good job on the costumes! They look great!
I am so glad I found your blog! You are just LOADED with amazing ideas! You wear me out already! I am so impressed! You have got some serious skills with the sewing machine too! Keep it up! It will be fun to keep tabs on you- besides at church! 🙂 By the way, I wish you would have won the costume contest- I know the work you much have put into that! Boy- you are awesome!
