Halloween 2014

My favourite day of the year is Halloween!  This may be the last year Camden agrees to a home-made costume so I went crazy.  We both dressed up!

Cam wanted to be a Knight and told me I could be a dragon.  I went to Value Village and picked up the perfect grey fabric and yarn to make his tabard and chain metal.  I picked up some really cool beading from the fabric store that I glued on and then sewed down so it wouldn't fall off.  I decided to use Ron's family crest as the emblem on the tabard.

We made some Halloween cupcakes for his party at school.  Yummy!

We had excellent weather on Halloween night so neither of us needed to wear a coat.  Camden declared he was "not too struck" on pictures, so I had a difficult time getting some nice ones.

Halloween 2013

I took these pictures the weekend I finished Camden's cookie costume and they were the best I could get at the time.  There was no way he was going to be anything other than Camden :)  He loves the horse next door and went to visit her.

This was the beautiful sunrise in our backyard on Halloween morning.  Just gorgeous.

Halloween night was a success thanks to the efforts of Aaliyah and Keilah.  Without them, Camden would never have gotten dressed and stepped out the door.  He was adamant he didn't want to go out, but the girls changed his mind and got him dressed.  I was a baker but forgot to get a picture of us together.

(He literally screamed at the poor lady)

Halloween 2012

We were worried Halloween would be rained out this year as Hurricane Sandy was predicted to head our way with high winds and rains.  It did rain heavily for the early part of the day, but cleared just in time for Trick or Treating.

We were the Three Bears and I am pleased to say my first attempt at sewing clothing was a success.  I think we looked terrific!  Camden's costume was made from a blanket I bought for $1.99 and our costumes were made from an old white sheet set that I attempted to dye brown.  My Mum (aka Grammie), knitted our  hats.
