WW: A Plethora of Costumes

Sons of Anarchy: Mom, Dad, and my costume for last weekend's party.

YouTube Guy: Fisch won't allow me to put the guys real name because his videos are quite offensive.

Peacock: I really wanted to wear a tutu and a lot of make up this year after being Amy Farrah Fowler last year, which was funny but boring.

Loofah: Brye wins for most tulle used!

American Gothic:  The hosts of the party we went to on Saturday.  Very appropriate since the party was in a barn.  This was my favorite being the art teacher I am.

Happy Halloween!!

Halloween Weekend: Costumes are only funny when people know who you are.

Apparently there are not that many Big Bang Theory watchers out there. Only a couple people knew who we were.  This had to be my easiest costume ever.  Almost everything is from my own closet (usually not worn together) except the purse which I barrowed from Fisch's mom. Fisch's costume is a mix of thifted treasures (those rockin' plaid pants) and ebay finds (that Flash T-shirt...the exact one that Sheldon wears occasionally).
 For those of you who are still wondering, we are Sheldon Cooper and Amy Farrah Fowler from the show The Big Bang Theory. They make me laugh out loud every episode :)

Happy Halloween!!

I get so excited about carving pumpkins and then I lose interest pretty much right after I clean it out and get the pumpkin seeds to roast (yum!).  So I always seem to do a simple design or a silly face.  This guy made me laugh as soon as I drew him.  

Fisch, on the other hand, gets super into it.  This is his free-handed howling wolf.  Pretty awesome if you ask me.

Hope you all had a safe and fun weekend!

Happy Halloween!

Thrifty Thursday: Homemade Cards

One of my favorite things to do around Halloween is make cards to send to my friends (Gotta love snail-mail right?). I try to make the cards different every year. This year I made them out of illustrations from a Halloween book I saved from being thrown away at my old school.  Aren't the pictures great?!

I am so excited for this weekend.  Fisch and I are going to see some old friends and then going to our other friends Halloween/Housewarming party.  Like the poem says:

"Let the fun begin!"

Wordless(ish) Wednesday: Miss Frizzle and the Magic School Bus

 

These were Fisch and my Halloween costumes from 2 years ago.

Fisch gets super into making his costumes every year and spent around 15 hours making the bus. The bus ended up in our garage after Halloween and became the home of a stray kitty we started calling Frizz.

 Last year we didn't have any plans for Halloween so we didn't make costumes (and really how could we ever beat Miss Frizzle and the Magic School Bus?!) but we did dress up in some stuff I stole from my old dress up clothes to go Trick-or-treating with our friends and their kids. Fisch wasn't allowed to go up to the doors alone with the kids...lil scary.

So what are we going to be this year?

We got plans...but you'll just have to wait and see ;)

A Happy October

Reasons why October makes me so very happy:

1. The leaves hit their peek color

2. Cool weather means cute layered outfits and fires in the fireplace.

3.  Lots of fun autumn art projects happening at school

4. Going to the pumpkin patch to pick out the perfect pumpkins

5. Carving said pumpkins

6. Halloween

7. Getting caught up in Fisch's enthusiasm for Holloween costumes 

8. Scavenging thrift stores for the perfect pieces for our costumes

9. Watching all my favorite Halloween movies 

10. Candy (Not even sure if we will get trick or treaters where we live now but you can bet we bought candy just is case...and may have to run out for another bag, or 2, by Halloween) 

I love October :)
