Fall Carnival

The girls wanted to be unicorns this year.

They found costumes when we went to the "Witch Store" - which is really Spirit Halloween, but Mila's been calling it the "Witch Store" since she was 2 so...yeah.

Anyway, when we went back to get them, they didn't have the unicorn in both sizes. 

So then they landed on these adorable fox costumes.

Listen.

I always wanted to be the mom that made the costumes for her kids.

My mom made all of my costumes when I was growing up.

For one, because my parents were broke when we were kids.

And two, my mom can freaking sew. Like anything. 

A dress. Pants, shirts. Real clothes. 

And it looks amazing.

But me?

Um, no.

I tried being crafty a few years ago.

My sister ultimately made the costume and it was SO cute (a spider with legs that Mila wore, with a spider web skirt). 

Anyway. 

I'm not able to do that. I'm just not that mom.

The girls look SO cute. 

Their school held a "Fall Carnival" last week. They aren't doing any dress-up parties at school, which is disappointing, but they at least got to do this little carnival. 

Food trucks, a treasure hunt, games, and prizes. It was cute. It was cute to see the kids all dressed up.

My adorable little foxes! (Fox?) What's the plural?

The leg warmers were super cute. 

I was a chicken, naturally. 

We met up with the Twins (Mila's BFF and her twin sister)

My BABIES!





It started to rain pretty badly, so we ended up leaving after about 2 hours. Which was pretty good! It was supposed to last from 1 - 4 and we were there from 1 - 3. Not bad! It was a little chilly but my chicken costume was very warm. 

The kids had a good time and I'm glad we got to do SOMETHING Halloween-related. Other than Trick-O-Treating, we really don't have any other plans. 

We're excited that Halloween lands on a Sunday this year so Steve can actually come with us! 

And because it's a weekend day, we want to start early - we'll be hitting up my mom's neighborhood, then heading over to Steve's parents, then doing up the neighborhood across the street from them (HUGE houses - full size candy bars lol).
