Halloween 2009

Yesterday was a very busy and very fun day!  The girls and I carved pumpkins in the afternoon.  This was the first year I actually let them use the little "pumpkin knives" that you buy as kits in the store and cut their own pumpkin.  Usually they will draw on the pumpkin and Adam and I carve them out...but not this year.  And they did awesome! 
Then as it started to get closer to dark we decided it was time to get their outfits together.  They were so excited and so was I to find out how it was all going to come together. 
We put on their make up and it was the first Halloween costume that ever required face makeup like this.  Below is a picture of Em with her face made up and Erynn anxious for hers to be.

We got both girls all done and started with the blue eyebrows and blue eyeshadow makeup with blue eyelashes.  Then we did a pink nose with lipstick and pink lips...time to add the wig.  I was so excited about these wigs...they were perfect.  They were actually blue troll hair that I found on the internet.

This was one of my favorite costumes that we have done yet.  We put on their red long sleeve shirts and pink leggings to keep them warm under their outfit and then it was time to get dressed up.

And then the outfit...they looked SO cute!  It was so much fun!

The night was a blast...I was so surprised how many people just loved the girls' outfits.  Everyone that we passed commented on their outfits.  It was so much fun for them.  My mom and my mother-in-law came with us and we had a great time.  The girls got their share of candy and enough for many others as well.

One more Halloween down...one more year to go!

Hope you all had an awesome time and I look forward to seeing pictures of all of your kids' costumes.

Happy Sunday!
