Halloween Disney Costume Review

Many of you know how much I love Halloween! I've always dressed up. I think I was a bumble bee for about 5 years, haha. I am already thinking of this year's family costumes! The last few years with the kids and the daycare I am always trying to think of new ideas. When I was trying to think of new costume ideas last year, it was frustrating that so many adult costumes weren't appropriate to wear around young kids.

I was excited when I was contacted by Halloween Adventures to review a costume. While looking on the website I was very happy to find so many costumes that I would be able to wear with the daycare kids! They had so many options I couldn't decided which one I wanted, I wanted so many! I finally decided on the "Jessie" Costume from Disney Pixar's Toy Story movies. They shipped the costume fast and happy to see price and quality went hand in hand.  The costumes consisted of the one piece outfit and cowgirl hat. The costume fit true to size and I was very happy with it. I will be wearing this when I take the daycare kids trick or treating!  I would happily order from this company again going forward! October will be here before you know it! I thought they had a wonderful selection and the prices were extremely reasonable. You can find something while working on a smaller budget!

For more information on this company, you can find them on Twitter also!

4th Annual Halloween Party!

Last night we hosted our annual Halloween Party! We have done it for the last 4 years and it's an event I always look forward to! Friends come over, we enjoy food,drinks and take the kids trick or treating! It's times like these when I'm bummed that 3 out of our 4 sisters live away and can't join us. So, Cameron, Gwen & Allie... Save the Date! We want you to join us when it falls on a weekend!

Right before guests arrived, we did a quick photo shoot!

Pumpkin Carving!

Pumpkin carving started out very promising with the family, this is how pumpkin carving ended........

We started like this :)

The small pumpkins were the hardest pumpkins I have EVER tried to carve, so we moved on to the big one, with the plan to scoop out the seeds and bake. Peter did not like the smell!!

We switched back to the small pumpkin already scopped out and Daddy stepped in to help Peter carve, we kept it basic.....

Basically Jack just wanted to play with the knives :) We convinced him it would be fun to scoop!

Our pumpkins aglow!
