Halloween 2013

I'm sorry I am just getting this post done we have been at a Youth Retreat all weekend and have been very busy.

Last year when I was pregnant at Halloween (we had high ambitions to go as characters from the movie Juno, but ended up going as cowboys and cowgirls) I had come up with all kinds of creative family costumes that I could make for this year. I won't name them in case we go as one next year. But this year as it came around as that time to make costumes, I was busy making items for other people (I'm not complaining, I love doing that), but I lost out on precious time to make our family costumes. We were walking around Target and I found an adorable Robin onesie complete with a cape for Little Man. That's when we decided to go with the Batman and Robin idea. Originally I  was going to be Catwoman, but I didn't want to be a villain, so Hubby and I went as "Mr and Mrs Batman".
We found Batman shirts at Wal-Mart and I grabbed some black fabric and made us capes. I used this amazing Heat Bond product and cut out the Batman logo and the "Mr" and Mrs". Put on black pant and black undershirt and we were good to go.

I'm sorry the picture quality is so bad, the sun was going down and I only had my phone with me

The Saturday before Halloween we had our Church's annual "Trunk-or-Treat". We decorated our car as the "Bat Cave" complete with flying bats, and dumped TONS of candy in the back.

Excuse my dinner in the picture, I didn't realize it was in the picture until now :)

 I made the bats out of construction paper and attached them to fishing line at different levels. The best part was it was so windy that day that they were flying all over the place.

It was a lot of fun to see all the kids from church in their costumes, we had so much candy that kids were coming back 4-5 times for more. I did find out that most trunks had some sort of game to go with it, so I'll be brainstorming to come up with something for next year. There was a competition for both costumes and trunks, sadly we didn't win, but we still had an awesome time.

Halloween night we joined up with Hubby's two little brothers who are 10 and 4. They were dressed as Sonic the Hedgehog and Woody from Toystory. We spent the night Trick-or-Treating around the neighborhood. Little Man was fascinated by all the candy in his bucket, but Mommy is the one who got to eat it! Everyone thought he was adorable, and we actually saw a few other superhero babies as well.

 Halloween was great and I can't wait until next year, when he actually understands whats going on. I hope you and your family had a great Halloween too!
