The Pink and Purple Fairies

The pumpkin patch was last minute and looked fun...see we wouldn't know if it was fun since it was $12 a person and we just wanted Maci to ride the cow train. That's right...you may call me cheap but I will not pay $36 for a little kid ride and a pumpkin. Still, we fulfilled our duty and got a pumpkin the night before Halloween. Maci loved posing on it as you can see. Jared not so much as you can also see.
For those of you who know me well, it may come as a shock to you that I actually made (yes that's right, MADE) Halloween costumes this year. Don't be too impressed, since they are fairy skirts and everyone else already made those last year...in their sleep...and they probably looked better than mine. ANYWAYS, I still am proud that I did a craft without gouging my eyes out (although it looked borderline for awhile). So here are my pink and purple fairies in all their sparkling glory. Paige spit up on her sparkling glory about 2 minutes in. And the candy is almost gone. Paige's wig contributing to the elf look (note her ears)...which is not what we were going for.
Free candy = pure joy
Hope yours was awesome. Now bring on the pumpkin pie!

Good job on the costumes! You have done more there than me! I have been wanting to make one of those tutus for Maggie...just haven't. I am cheap too-that sounds pretty expensive anyway.

The tutu's are really cute! Paige is looking so big! Asher spits up on everything too - so fun. Glad you guys had fun!

What pumpkin patch did you go to! We went and only spent $8 for both kids to go on two kids rides, then petting zoo was free, and so was the straw maze. I don't blame you for not wanting to fork out that much though!

Cute job on the costumes Summer! Isn't matching the girls so fun?! Tell Maci that Auntie says she looks just like a real fairy! It seems as though Paige is growing even though she is still spitting up like crazy! :)

Pretty good, Sum! Don't even act like you aren't crafty...'member how you made your prom dress and scrapbooked? That counts...

yeah..its more that I hate doing it rather than I can't. I'm forcing myself to like it in the future.
