We're off to see the wizard.......

I am so glad Halloween is over for this year. And even though Sean and I went to a party after getting the kids tucked snugly in bed, I have to ask myself if all the time at the sewing machine is worth wearing the costume for a few hours. Once again I have vowed not to do a theme next year. I have at least vowed not to think about it until after the new year! Anyway, here is the finished product!


Scarecrow:




Lion (renamed the grumpy lion instead of the cowardly lion - he was crying unless he had candy in his mouth):


Glinda:



Dorothy (definitely cuter than the original!):




Tin Girl (there are no words for how adorable she was!):



Wicked Witch/Toto:


I had to put this on here too. The Bruns always go all out for Halloween. Get this - she didn't have a pattern and she 'threw it together' yesterday. (But according to her, she doesn't sew.) WHAT THE HECK? As far as I'm concerned, with my Padme/Star Wars obssession, that is freakin' awesome.


Here is my awesome friend Sarah as the star from the movie Stardust:


The day before Halloween Carissa and I cashed in our much-needed girls' night out. We started with a pedicure at 99 Nails, where I relished splurging on a flower.
There is something about getting a flower - it makes the whole experience like 110% better! Then we went to the mall and had our Twilight T-shirts made to wear to the movie! It wasn't exactly what I wanted - I wanted just a picture of the cover on the shirt, but they couldn't get it exactly the way it was. So we settled for this:

I am elated. After t-shirts we went to Chili's for dinner. It was awesome!

Here are a couple of Kenna all ready for her school party on Thursday. For those of you who don't know, I had to bribe her to be the Tin Girl by telling her she could wear her Tinkerbell costume to school.
