Our Halloween this year was pretty low key. Let me just tell you that I am still working on getting my house completely put together, and because of how crazy life has been I have had no energy to put into being that crafty. I didn't even realize until late Halloween night that we had not carved a pumpkin! Oh well, maybe next year! I did however, find some time to work on a simple costume for Landon. He absolutely loves everything and anything that has to do with tools. He can tell you the names of most tools too! Smart boy! So I thought it was only fitting that his costume have something to do with tools, he was Handy Manny! I like the idea of always making my kids Halloween costumes, so I put his together myself. I dyed his shirt, it was the first time I have ever done this. It turned out pretty good, but next time I need to be a littlemore careful with the dye! I might have stained our counter a little bit. Oops! Oh, and always wear gloves!



Here is my little handy man! He made a great Handy Manny.



I am hoping to make Ava's costume next year. This year I just bought her the cutest little fall outfit! She is the sweetest baby! A little pumpkin.



And here we all are. Once again, this is as good as our family pic's get with our busy boy! It's a miracle everyone is looking at the camera!



We made it by both sets of grandparents and our sweet friends the McInturff's trick-or-treating. And that is the extent of our Halloween! Not much, but it was fun!

Here is what I made for Landon's costume last year. He was Super Landon! He still loves this cape! Check out that long hair! Oh my!!


I hope to make both of theirs next year! I am also hoping that this time next year our lives are even more settled! We will see...

I LOVE his costume! It turned out SO cute!! Did you remove his sleeves to dye the shirt and then sew them back on after they were dyed darker? LOVE the idea of the whole thing!

Thanks Mandie! And yes, that is exactly what I did! I just left the sleeves in the dye a while longer!
