anyways, today i will share a few of my favorite shots from halloween. we had fun despite the fact that we were all sick.... ok, we all would have had a lot more fun had we been healthy BUT we still had a good time.
daddy took bean out for her first round of trick or treating. i really wish i would have gone with them because daddy said that bean's flamingo costume was a huge hit. everyone was asking where we got it. (one woman was very impressed when she learned i made the costume and told hubby that i should do that for a living- ha, if she only knew it was the first time i'd sewn anything!) sprout and i did go around to a few houses with them later. someone thought that bean was a duck. i was a good mommy and kept my mouth shut. ;)
daddy trying to adjust her head.... er, hat. it was a tad bit big!
after some help from mommy they are off!bean went up and said "trick or treat!" and usually the people got a thank you as well. on the way back to us she would check her bag carefully to see what she got. they she would shout to us, "i got a kit kat mommy! i love kit kats!" or "daddy! i got m&m's!!", or something else along those lines. thankfully she was excited about everything she got- especially the toothbrush. oh yeah, my kid was nuts for the sparkling pink toothbrush. crazy but true!
here she had just scored a candy bracelet!and i don't want to leave out sprout! everyone was gushing over his cuteness. of course, most of them thought he was a cat. sigh. i'll let it slide though because while sitting in the stroller they could not see his bat wings. but, i will say that if he was a cat i probably would NOT have given him fangs.... just sayin'. ;)
here's sprout hanging out outside our friend's house(bean was too busy helping hand out candy to be in a picture! did you know that giving away candy is almost as much fun as getting candy??)

aww what very sweet photos of Halloween! I love the last shot, too! Such a sweetie! :)
heee...bat or cat - he is ADORABLE! the costumes look great and I LOVE the idea of a toothbrush give-away. my girls would love getting one, too!
I love the flamingo costume. I bet that was a hit, what an original idea and she looks too cute in it. I have to agree that handing out candy is just as much fun as walking around and getting it because you still get to see all the great costumes. :)
Ya know, I hated it when people couldnt tell Ella was a mouse too! I dont know why it bothered me. It didnt seem to bother her. She just corrected them politely, took their candy and moved on.
They are both so adorable. What a great idea for the toothbrush. It is something that would stick out as different amongst all that candy. I think Ella would have liked it too.
I am so impressed with your sewing!!! I would have stopped to say how impressed I was too!
Oh I get SO excited about Kit-Kats and M&Ms too! : )
They look darling - glad they had a great time!
Can you believe that when I opened this to comment - several hours ago, I was second below Brittany? Goes to show you the extent of my morning!
Oh, back to the task at hand. Love the pictures, how fun that she went trick-or-treating. There is always next year for Harrison. This year he got the warm up with the Trunk-or-treat!
Of course your flamingo got a lot of attention! It IS awesome and brilliant! And so is the bat/cat. :o) So glad you guys had a good Halloween, despite the sickies.
She had one heck of a big candy container too didn't she? :) Love the photo of Sprout. He's the cutest bat ever!
How did I not see this before? I guess I have been crazy busy this week....looks like Halloween was a great success!
A cat???? For goodness sakes...some people. It is perfectly obvious that he is a penguin. With fangs. hahaha
Please pay no attention to the fact that it is Saturday and I am just getting to BSM this week...
These are great halloween shots! I still can't get over what an amazing job you did on these costumes - they rock!
