Happy halloween from Harry and Horsie

Sorry for 2 posts in 1 day-I forgot to post the other yesterday. The costumes were inspired by Zanthias' favorite story, Harry and Horsie.
Harry's stuffed animal, Horsie, is stolen away by a bubble, and Harry has to ride his rocket to save him. Zaphira's costume isn't really accurate, but I had to work with what materials I had =)


Drew turned the kids' wagon into a rocket. How cool is this? Drew is awesome!




Zaphira kept trying to get candy from this lady, who was just a mom of a trick or treater.

getting ready for Halloween

We went to a Halloween party my moms' group planned today. It was lots of fun, even if Zanthias wouldn't wear his costume! He is super excited to trick or treat tomorrow.

Dude!

Enjoying his first piece of Halloween candy (a sucker, his favorite)
Dory, Nemo, Crush and Squirt
Zanthias's favorite movie (until How to train your dragon) was Finding Nemo. He says "dude" for turtle because of this movie. I made everyone's costume except Zaphira's. Zanthias had a great time getting candy and then passing it out to the trick or treaters.

Trying on my Halloween costume

We got Zanthias' Halloween costume today. He and Drew have matching costumes. It's a little long but easily fixable. He really liked the belts!
We have his birthday (costume party) as well as attending a zoo event (Boo at the Zoo) and a Halloween party/trick or treating at a friend's, so he'll get plenty of use out of it! His birthday is a pirate theme and we're asking people to come in their costumes. We're having a photographer come so we should have great photos to share. We got some really neat stuff from Oriental trading company for it. I'm making a pirate ship cake, we have a skull pinata (that you pull strings to open, you don't hit it), and there will be a temporary tattoo station, make your own eyepatch, and a sticker sheet for crafts at the party. We've got some really neat favors (OTC is so cheap!) like mini inflatable pirate beach balls and spyglasses and such. It will be a great time! The party is Oct. 24th.
Arr matey!
