Costumes 2011

Brynn's been talking about being Rapunzel for Halloween for months now. She kept talking about how Gavin was going to be "Pascal" and how beautiful and long her hair was going to be. I couldn't find an official Pascal costume so we dressed Gavin up as a frog. He loved it! He thought it was so funny when I showed him how he looked in the mirror and he cried when I took the costume off that night. I thought and thought about how I was going to make Brynn's hair "long and beautiful" for cheap. We found plastic hair at Sally's for $7 and I sewed those extension clips on it so it would clip in her hair. I put it in right when she got home from school so she could enjoy having long hair all day. She was VERY HAPPY with her long hair! She twirled and danced and petted it all day long ;). Here are some pics from the day.

"Rapunzel"



"Pascal"



Kidos loaded in the car to trick-or-treat at Daddy's work. (we're waiting for a guy to fix our garage door because Mommy ran into it that morning AND THEN broke the passenger side mirror off the car not even 20 seconds later... don't ask!)


Brynn & Gavers had lots of fun trick-or-treating. Gavin caught on really quickly and filled his bucket up while simultaneously sucking on several suckers ;). Brynn collected lots of candy but ate only 3-4 pieces. Every year the "Switch Witch" comes to our house. Brynn knows that (when she goes to bed on Halloween night) if she leaves LOTS of candy for the witch then she'll wake up to a PRESENT the next morning. She got a dog this year named "Bumper McBones" and he has a dog house and talks and walks. She couldn't be happier! Gavin got his first pull back car that slams into the walls and a transformer pops out of the top. He says "GO!" and races it down the hallway over and over again. :)

Here they are at Daddy's work.


Happy Halloween!
