Nightmare on 32nd Street - 2014

Today was Nightmare of 32nd Street.

I love this family picture, but I hate that my son is in his stroller next to us unable to be photographed. 

Soon enough!

The girls got their faces painted and rode rides.

These girls are such good friends.

Then we headed to the haunted house on our way out. 

$ What A Deal $

I thought I would just take a moment and explain how easy it was to make the twins' Thing 1 & Thing 2 Halloween costumes.

Even better...they were CHEAP too!!

The dresses were actually made out of two red standard size pillowcases. I simply followed the directions from an easy tutorial {pillowcase dress} from Youtube...and Viola!

I had no luck finding a cheap, child sized wig for them to wear that I thought was worth it for a few hours of trick-or-treating so I opted to spray their hair blue and make some of my own bows!!

Let's break it down...

2 red pillowcases (Wal-Mart)...$12
2 pairs of red tights (garage sale)...$ .50
2 Pairs of red shoes (on sale @ Wal-Mart)...$6
2 red turtle neck shirts (Wal-Mart)...$7
3 rolls of blue ribbon (50% off @ Jo-Ann Fabrics)...$3
1 Halloween face painting kit...$2
1 can blue hair tint...$4
3 pieces of felt...$1
Total...$35.5

Comes to a grand total of $17.75 per child.

You could find anything more adorable for that price...ANYWHERE!!

They were a huge hit and I have no regrets!!

I was a little worried about doing the 'cliche' twin costume, but obviously there is a reason. Everyone loved them!!

No name calling. Yes, I know I am crazy.
BUT...I already have next years costumes picked out and they will be homemade as well.

There is no stopping me now! :)

God bless.
