Halloween 2011 was the year of the cheap costumes! I really didn't want to spend a ton of money for one night of dressing up! I'm all about saving money so this is what we came up with!
Jordyn loves Strawberry Shortcake so we dressed her up in a dress that she already had and put green stripes (green duct tape $4), strawberry shortcake pretties and freckles. I think she looked adorable and I only spent $4!
Makenna kept changing her mind. She wanted to be Hermoine and then she wanted to be Snow White (which we already have a dress up dress for that one too:) but she ended up decided on being the White Queen from Alice in Wonderland. She already had a beautiful white dress and I just got her a long blond wig ($6) and put some makeup on her!
Personally, I think Makenna looks better with darker hair. It's gradually getting darker and darker. This is a little too blond for her:)
My Aiden was a hard one for me. I really didn't want to spend any money on him because he's not old enough to care but I still wanted a fun costume for him. I found a cool costume idea on Pinterest. Mr. Aiden is a bum which cost me a total of......$0!! He already had jeans with holes in them. I just put a flannel shirt on him and a goofy beanie that we already had. I also put makeup on his face for his beard! I think it turned out so adorable and funny! Trav wrote, "will work for candy" on his sign and called him the "99%" :)
You are going to put candy in my bucket??? Alright!!!
The green stripes!!!
This was at our trunk or treat!! We also did a little trick or treating around our neighborhood and then over at Grandma's for chili and doughnuts!! I will post some of those pics hopefully soon:)
