Well this year we really celebrated Halloween! We planned our costume in advance, made spooky and cute costumes, watched a scary movie and went to a Halloween Party!
This year we were Mary Poppins and Burt! I loved our costumes and not to be lame but this will probably be our go-to costumes for a few more years to come. We spent a total of $7 on our costume! We bought Kennedy's vest, hat and broom at D.I. and bought some red ribbon at the Dollar Giant. Everything else we had in our closets! It was so easy and we got lots of compliments on them!
We went to our ward party which was a lot of fun, I loaded up on Milk Duds and Reese's Pieces and we watched some brave people play some scary games! They did Halloween Fear Factor and those poor people ate some nasty things. Some Smurfs bobbed for apples and we got to meet the Joker and Cat Woman. It was a true Halloween Party!
So last night Kennedy convinced me to watch Psycho, I am not a scary movie person but I have seen a few Hitchcock films and I like him so I agreed. The deal was he had to make me awesome popcorn and stay up as late as I wanted afterwards to watch something happy. So we ended our Halloween night at 2 a.m. watching Whose Line is it Anyways! But I actually did like Pyscho, I won't ruin the ending for anyone if you haven't seen it but luckily my 23 years of avoiding Pyscho gave me the advantage of knowing the ending which made some parts not as scary and some parts a lot scarier. Also Kennedy was kind enough to tell me which characters were going to die so I did not get attached to them. What a guy :)
This year I saw some chevron pumpkins that Martha Stewart did so I was determined to do the same, luckily I had some old paints that I could use so I didn't have to make a special trip. The big pumpkin turned out a lot better than the small one. One the small pumpkin the paint basically was on the brim of peeling off! But I think over all they turned out cute. I really want to make my other little pumpkin a glittered pumpkin but alas we had no glitter so Kennedy suggested polka dots and it ended up being my favorite pumpkin!
As you can see Kennedy did the spooky pumpkin, I think he turned out very scary!
Here's the process of making my Chevron pumpkin, it had to dry over night.
Here's how my little ones turned out!
