So, this year I'm proud to say that our kids stuck to a theme. We tried for ninja turtles, but couldn't find an outfit for Jamison. So, we opted for Mario Brothers!! McKinley got dubbed "princess peach" even though her dress isn't the same. And for Reagan....Toadstool! I'm so proud of any project I manage to complete, but this little gem turned out way cuter than I could have hoped for. Here you go....(sorry, I don't know what's going on with the text here.)
The boys and Mcki's costumes are store bought. Luckily, Jamison's favorite color is green, so he has no problem being Luigi. In fact, he insists. Don't you remember as a kid, always wanting to be Mario cause he got to go first? I do. Mcki reused her dress from last year. She was a good sport about it. I made Reagan's hat and vest. The rest of the outfit is just normal clothes. I fell in love with her instantly!! She is the cutest toad ever!
And this scary picture below is what i've been waiting for. Ever since I've cut my hair short, I've wanted to stick it up. This is the best I got. I just got it cut again the day before halloween. Its a little shorter than last time....not super fond of the length......but this almost turned out normal.......well, normal for the 80's!!! Pulled out some old jewelry from high school, and wabam! I worked that night, had to explain to patients that I really didn't do my hair like this normally.
McKinley had crazy hair day at school.....the day before Halloween. Anyhoo, I actually got up and did something for her. I think it turned out really fun. They are sparkly pipe cleaners, braided into her hair. Then I attached each one to the bottom of another on to create all the little hoops. She liked it! Luckily, she doesn't have very thick hair, so it didn't take a lot of time.
So, besides Halloween, Matthew went and took his Professional Engineering test. He has to wait till December to get the results. It is a super grueling test, 8 hours long. Glad I don't have to take it. He says he may have scraped a pass. It'll mean a raise at work, but he'll still being doing basically the same thing. We are glad its over with.
Happy holidays to everyone!
