Halloween 2009

I give up...I guess Kailee and Tyson's birthdays will get blogged about later and this will be out of order. I have Halloween pics ready to go so I better share them before next Halloween beats me to it! The kids were all very creative this year! They wanted to come up with their own costumes and not buy them from the store!! Hallelujah! I love that! Lots of imagination is great for the pocket book! Well except for Kyler...he insisted on being a star wars character of some kind. After about a hundred suggestions of other fun things he could be he still wouldn't budge so I went about bought him a Luke Skywalker costume, complete with a light saber! He was soooo happy!
Kailee went as a gift bag! We took 2 sheets of poster board and covered it with some cute wrapping paper. We added lots of tissue paper (we stamped a little design on the tissue) We added some ribbon, a tag and some curly ribbon to her hair and she was set! She looked sooo great! She got alot of compliments on her outfit! She is so creative, she is never one to disappoint with her costumes!
Can you figure out what Austin is? He went as a "Quarterback". He wanted to be a "Longhorns Quarterback". He took his Longhorn t-shirt and we printed out an image of a quarter and taped it to his back! He wore a Longhorn hat to complete the look! Awesome!!
Last but certainly not least was Tyson. He came up with the idea totally on his own! He was the cutest ever!!! He decided to be an I-Spy game. He started about a week before Halloween collecting things from around the house that he could use. We just started gluing until nothing more would fit. He did both sides of his shirt. He wore a baseball cap with a list of things to find! He loved standing and letting people find the stuff on him! He got lots of great feedback in his idea and he LOVED it!
What was I you ask? Well I was the lady who got her kids all ready and out the door in costume on time....twice! with her husband out of town! I looked good doing it too!! ;)This was the sign Kyler made to put on the door after ran out of candy! This was all his doing! He said he was tired of telling them "We're out!"Austin with his friends Josh as a Zombie, and Tyler the microphone.
