My Halloween Night

Last night was a BLAST! My friends and I decided at the last minute we wanted to dress up for Halloween and go trick or treating like we always do. So on Sunday night we planned to go early Saturday to get our supplies and make our costumes. We made crayon costumes and they were sooooo cute! We bought felt, party hats, velcro, and tights. First, we cut out the felt into different color dresses and velcroed the sides together. Then, we cut out the word crayola and black stripes in black felt and hot glued them to the front of the dresses. Finally, we covered the party hats in our color felt to act as the crayon tip, then we put our black tights on and the dress and it looked really cute from far away.  Up close you could definitely tell they were homemade costumes. Noone these days make homemade costumes anymore and ours turned out really good. We got a lot of compliments and comments on them because it was something different that people weren't used to seeing. We still like to be kids and do things whether people think we should or not. We always have a blast doing it and of course the candy is a plus too! When we were at one of the houses getting candy we heard a little girl say, "Mommy, I wanna be a crayon next year." It was so cute! We were like awwww. We felt like the little girl looked up to us in a way. We took tons of pictures and we definitely had a great time! Can't wait for next year :)
