Halloween :: 2011

I hope everyone had an awesome Halloween! It's just too bad it landed on a Monday this year. What's up with that? It messed up my internal calendar... I've felt like it's supposed to be Friday or Saturday all day long!

Well, a good time was had by all here on the ol' farm. We didn't dress up or go anywhere but the neighbors. We are such exciting people... I know. But our little one dressed as an "80's aerobics instructor" if not only to stave off princess costumes for one more year.

We were even able to teach her some aerobics "moves". Good times had by all. Here are the highlights. But keep in mind it's harder to get a decent photo of a toddler than it is chicken on run!



Yes, I bribed my daughter with candy....


Sorry if I posted this video twice, but it cracks me up.

Halloween Once Again

Halloween is upon us once again! If you remember, last year the Camsters was a "girl garden gnome", so I feel I need to keep with the tradition of non-traditional costumes. Some of the costumes considered were: Amelia, 20's flapper, Viking princess, Barred Plymouth Rock chicken, and fortune teller/gypsy. I've narrowed it down to these two.

Camster's Cousins: Round One

Whenever my nieces come up to visit, the days are filled with projects and activities galore. ThIs visit is no exception.

Yesterday included the big reveal on our tie dye projects from Friday.

Camster loved her shirt.

Cutting out and sewing a Halloween costume for the Camsters. I used my new birthday serger for the first time. A little gnome dress gave me the chance to use multiple settings.

Voilà!

We also stopped by the fabric store to grab some supplies and found this. Baby sign language fabric! Being that I took sign language as my foreign language in high school and we are now teaching Camster sign... this purchase was a MUST!

And then we watched a play written and performed by the girls titled "The Princess Academy". Very entertaining.
