Halloween 2011.....Yup, Finally getting it done! :)

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:)

Um.....yeah....I'm posting about Halloween!!

So, I have really been bad at blogging! I really use it for my family's journal so I feel like I need to but I really hate how blogger uploads pictures and whatnot. I think I might look into other blogging places if there is any:)

Anyway.....I was looking back and I never posted any Halloween pictures! I know I posted them but then realized I posted them on facebook. And since I can't print out facebook.....

This is Makenna and her cute friends Layne and Olivia all dressed up for Halloween. We had school on Halloween for the first time and our school had everyone dress up before...no idea why??? So, since I didn't want Makenna to ruin her wig and dress (it was white:), I had her wear last year's costume which was a witch. Of course it was so windy that day that she couldn't keep her witch hat on and of course on Halloween day, it was perfect weather:)

A few days before Halloween, we went to the pumkin patch. Our friends host a night there and we have been able to go and enjoy all the rides for free and also got a free pumpin!

Seriously, can this boy be any cuter???

My cutie Jordyn!!!

My sweetie Kenna!!!

The only one that came out of all of them:)

The girls loved the swing ride!!!

Aiden....not so much:( His mean mommy put him on there! :) In my defense, he really did want to go on there.....at first. :)

But he absolutely loved the slide!! He could have gone down this 100 times!! And to his mom and dad climbing up that thing, it felt like a 100. :)

Aren't these the cutest girls???

Petting the animals!

Jordyn going down!

Kenna going down!!

Cute face!!! They didn't want to leave!!!

They had so much fun!! I hope our friends keep doing this every year!!

Hopefully, I will keep going....maybe I will get Halloween night up here finally:)
