Halloween FUN!

Taiya wanted to be a ladybug for halloween. We feel in love with the ladybug costume on the front of the Pottery Barn magazine. I just couldn't justify the price. So I cut the picture out of the magazine and that became my inspiration and pattern for the ladybug costume. I took both the girls to JoAnn's with me to find all the stuff we would need. Brynne got so excited, that I bought enough to make her a costume too. I invested too many hours into making 2 sets of the tutus, wings, and headbands. By the time I finally finished I couldn't hardly wait for the girls to try them on. Well, Taiya wore hers everyday and totally loved it. To this day Brynne still hasn't put her whole costume on. For some reason she wasn't digging the ladybug costume. I didn't feel like forcing her into her costume this year. So I let her wear what she wanted. I just figure this will make a great story to remember. I really had a great time making them. I surprised myself that I could actually do it. It was fun to see them come together even without a pattern.

My Princess ladybug!

I found these red glitter ruby shoes at Target. They went perfect with the red glitter headband, I thought they finished off the costume perfectly.

We found this little pioneer dress in a friends dress up bucket. Brynne totally loves this dress. This is what she wore instead of the ladybug costume. Cracked me up!

By the time we made it down to Grandma's trunk of treat she decided to put on her tutu and shoes, better then nothing. She really couldn't make up her mind. I would post more pictures of Brynne, but in all of them she has her head turned away. She wasn't in the mood for taking pictures.
