costumes

Well we have the kids Halloween costumes Paige is still going to be a lady bug but we had such a difficult time finding a cute lady bug costume that didn't cost $20 or more we decided just to go for making our own!  I think it will work out pretty well she has a red shirt already and so we got her some black sweats and a black jacket and then we got so of that material like what you put under a skirt like!  I have noticed that a lot of people have been making like little toutou's out of it so i thought that would make a cute lady bug skirt but to buy on already make was like at least $12 so we went and looked at the fabric and it was only .77 cents a yard!!!  I was shocked there was no way i was going to pass that up so we got some!  Those people making those little toutou's are making a bundle on them i couldn't believe it!  For the little antenna's we are just going to fix her hair into two pigtails right on top and then spray her hair with the black spray!  We don't have wings yet but i think we can just get a wire hanger and some nylons and some black paint for the dot's We just have to find the wire hangers and then wal-mart has some knee highs for .33 cents and i have paint so i think everything will workout well for her!  
Alex decided that he didn't want to be batman anymore and we went through an array of other ideas and then at wal-mart we were looking for stuff to piece together alex a costume too!  Then we saw some football jerseys and i asked him if he wanted to be a football player and his face just lit up he was so excited so that's what he is going to be!  It was the only thing he got this excited about!  so he picked out the color of jersey he wanted and we got him some sweat pants and we have a long sleeve shirt already that will look good underneath and then all were going to do is get some black make-up and put the lines under his face!  I think I'm more excited about him being a football player than batman!
As for brett and me we still don't have anything for us for halloween  but i'm not really to concerned with that!
