Halloween was super fun this year, Jake and i dressed up as pirates and Tristan was our little pirate monkey! We went over to some friends house and partied!! Ya, and those awesome pirate hats; Jake and I made them!! That's right, made them. Out of a card board box, an old sheet, duct tape, and spray paint. It was definitely a Halloween to remember!

Halloween Seek Peek

We got Tristan's Halloween costume in the mail and couldn't wait to try it on!! He's sooo cute! I'm going to make some wings for him and a little hat to make him a flying monkey! Then I'll dress up as the wicked witch of the west. We still haven't figured put who jake will be. Maybe one of the soldiers. But i can't wait!! Yay Halloween!! Having someone to dress up makes it sooo much more fun.

Lunch Mouth!!

Tristan wanted to feed himself today! He grabbed the bowl from me and stuck his face in the oatmeal. It was so much fun! We made a HUGE mess but it was totally worth it!!

Halloween Topiaries!

Made these super cute Halloween Topiaries with Allison and Chelsey the other day while the guys were studying. They turned out super cute! One is made with tissue paper, one with sprinkles, and one with candy corn! Thanks Allison for the great idea!
