This year was a BLAST!!! Rachel and Logan were so into the whole spirit of Halloween! And you wouldn't believe the bags of candy we have in our house now. Rachel wanted to be Bell so I decided to force Logan into being the Beast. I figured it's probably the last year that I'll have any say in what he is.
Question: How many yards of shiny yellow satin does it take to make a Bell ballgown?
Answer: 8 1/2 yards
But it was worth everything in the end
Logan was our little "Beast" quite appropriate depending on the day.
Fortunately it didn't take nearly as much yardage to make his.
They had more trick or treating than should be legal. We had our ward party and trunk-or-treat on Tuesday, on Wednesday Rachel got to go at preschool and then on Halloween they got to go to Spillman (Max's work) and then the original trick-or-treating that night. (hence the bags and bags of candy now in our house)
All this trick or treating really wore them out. This is them conked out on the way to daddy's work.

And of course we can't leave out our pumpkins. We love carving pumpkins!!!
But first you have to go get the pumpkins. By our house is this great pumpkin patch that a farmer does, it's so fun for the kids. There's a free mini corn maze, tons and tons of pumpkins and tractors for the kids to sit on. They love it.
So Happy Halloween to everyone! (Even if it is two days late)

Great costumes! Meesh told me about the Belle costume. I can only dream about sewing something other than a straight line. Thanks for the Martha comment but I am sooo far from her it is not even funny! Or maybe it is funny! LOL Martha would appreciate the secret word I have to type. It is BAKED! HEE-HEE
That's the best Belle dress I've ever seen. You definitely have your mom's talent. Logan is so precious as the beast. It's great you had them coordinate. Hopefully you can take a breath and relax now.
Well done! The dress turned out beautiful! You are so talented! Gosh I wish my kid would hurry and grow so we can keep up this tradition of me benefiting greatly from your talents one year later. No seriously the costumes were a hit! THanks! I am so busy I can't even do a post about our Halloween. I am the worst Mom ever. Maybe I will just post next years and this years in one post!
