Halloween

So, I have been a little behind lately. I think I have had the flu or something for the last 2 weeks. Every time I start to feel better, I try and do to much and it shuts me back down. So that is my excuse for being 3 weeks late posting Halloween pictures.

Olivia informed me about 2 months ago that she wanted to be Taylor Swift for Halloween. She was very concerned that her hair didn't look the same and that she was too short to look like TS. It took a lot of convincing that she didn't have to look JUST like her, just close enough. She turned out very happy with the costume, so that is all that mattered!! Abby wore the little bo peep costume that I made for Olivia a few years ago. Olivia was little bo peep and Abby was a little sheep. Abby was very upset that Owen didn't fit the little sheep costume, until we found her little sheep doll that Grandma gave her a few years ago. That made everything better. So, I debated for a long time about Owens costume. I really hoped that the sheep costume would fit him, but when we got out the Halloween stuff, it was way too small. I didn't want to spend a lot of money on a costume that he would wear for 30 minutes. Then I found on one of my craft blogs this cute little peter pan costume and I have almost all of the felt already so I got busy. I think it turned out so cute, and though he looks less than impressed, he kept it on all night and didn't take off the hat once. Has anyone else noticed how similar peter pan and robin hood dress. Olivia pointed that one out to me and kept calling Owen Robin Hoood. Luckily, my Mom could come with me to the ward Halloween party because Alex was out hunting again-he always seems to miss the Halloween parties.

Owen really wanted a muffin!! How cute is that face!!

We went trick or treating on Halloween night with some friends in the neighborhood, but I didn't take a single picture that night-what a horrible mom!!! They had so much fun and got a lot of candy that we are still rationing!! Olivia is already planning her costume for next year.
