Halloween 2013

Well Halloween is over, but the festivities are continuing in our area through Sunday due to most things being canceled because of storms. We still managed to have a lot of fun and do some trick or treating yesterday too.

We visited my grandmother first yesterday. She always gets Henry a basket/bucket for just about every holiday. It was stuffed full of cars, candy and snacks. I dressed him at her house so that she could see him in his costume. It made her so happy.

 Henry went as a little old man this year and won 2nd place in Troy's Halloween costume contest for it! He is such a little ham! I was a little upset with myself for not having any better photos of him, but oh well! I'll have another chance Sunday to dress him up for our little villages's festivities.

We went trick or treating with the cousins last night. Izabel was Jessie from Toy Story and Vinny was a Halo character. My sister-in-law and her husband made both of their costumes. I love that our families are so crafty! Henry had SO much fun trick or treating this year. Jeremy and I got such a kick out of watching him go up to the doors (by himself!) and hold his little bucket out for treats.

I hope you all had a wonderful Halloween!

Costume Hunt

Call me crazy but I've been scouring the internet on and off all day trying to decide what sort of costume I should make for Henry this year. I know it's early yet - but I want to decide now so I can start getting it put together. 

At first I thought I'd make him a lion. It doesn't really get much cuter than that and I'm fairly certain if I bought a pattern, the mane and such wouldn't be as hard to make as it first looks.

Super cute, right?

Then I thought that I really, really wanted to make him Dwight from The Office. But I'm afraid with this adorable photo floating around so much, there's bound to be a TON of Dwights this year. Plus, every time that I bring it up my husband looks at me a little crazy.

Bears, Beets, Battlestar Galactica

The only other idea that I kind of liked was this weird green hair, bugs and dirt idea. I'm not even sure what it's suppose to be. The ground? The backyard? Just dirt and grass in general? I find it cute in a weird way though. I don't see me getting Henry to sit still long enough for me to even begin to do this though.

I guess if you follow links you'll come to find  that it's suppose to be 'earth'. I'm just too lazy sometimes.

Other than these three, I'm kind of stumped. I've searched and searched and nothing really sticks out to me. I want something unique, something different and something that I can also make myself. What have you dressed your kids up as in the past? Give me some ideas, I'm dying here!
