Halloween

Since I was not the type of girl who always wanted children, I had very few "visions" of what kind of mom I would be. However, I always knew I would be the Mom who made homemade costumes for my children, staying up late into the night with the sewing machine, glue gun, etc.


For his first Halloween Vin was a Chili Pepper (full disclourse note: I did not make this costume)


Then he went as Charlie Brown




We knew way back in the summer that we wanted him to be Charlie Brown, he has the perfect "blockhead" for this.
Cosume #3
Teri and I love Halloween and especially love going as Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy. We started this several years ago and it has become our standard costume.

Here we are the very first year.




Last year when I was pregnant with Vin, we broke with tradition and Teri went as a Chef (look at her utensil) and I went as an Oven with a bun in it. Teri made my oven, look closely at the top where she built in a drink holder.



This year we were back to our favorite couple but this time Vin made the perfect accessory. What do you get when you cross a frog and a pig?

A FRIG!!!!


Check out his pink pig ears! His curly pink tail is hiding in all the pictures but it was there!





We attended a party with all our other baby friends and their parents. Here we are with Lourdes and her daughter Sienna who was a chipmunk!

This is Wesley as an adorable cowardly lion with his Mom Katherine and Dad Jeff as Dorothy and the Scarecrow.



And here are our devilishly good looking friends, Lisa and Trevor.

I have to add, I am such a nerd for not putting together Kermit and Miss Piggy. I don;t know where my brain was. Duh. Like, I knew you were miss Piggy but it didn't register that Teri was specifically Kermit. Duh duh duh. But the chef and oven thing is hilarious too. You two are so fun!

PS. It occurred to me that Teri looked super comfortable in that frog costume. She looked so chill it could have been her favorite pajamas. Now it makes sense.

You're costumes rock! We had such a great time with you all last week. Can't wait till the big feast! Also, I expect to consult you and Teri to help us decide on costumes for next year.
