::halloween 2012:: tinker bell & peter pan

i love halloween and i love homemade costumes.  i'm a little obsessed, so there.  i said it :)  i mentioned earlier that currently our household is completely obsessed with tinker bell, peter pan, and never land, so costumes this year were so easy peasy to decide on :)  i love that i have one boy and one girl...both different ages...and both currently sharing the same obsession...score!!  this is by far my favorite photo of the night...


i love them all and had a hard time picking which ones to post, so lucky you, you get them all!


i did make both of their costumes with a little help from pinterest.  i don't sew, somehow, i just manage to make it all quasi-work.  i've never followed a sewing pattern in. my. life.


if i had a pattern, it would probably be called...wing it.




we'll start with memms...


i thought she was so pretty in her fairy costume :)


wings were from the dollar tree and the rest was just tulle...


bro.  oh my bro.  he was "peter pan with a sword."  his sword was from the dollar tree too.


i wanted to eat him with a spoon.




he would pop his sword out and say, "heh."  so funny.


a couple of self timed family photos...




and we were off to the neighborhood party.  everyone was so cute!




we are so blessed to have met so many friends so quickly...


and so blessed to have aunt lindy come trick or treat with us.  i didn't manage to get her photo, but this is the first halloween of 7 that we've had family with us on such a fun day!  i wonder what they'll be next year??
