It's a Hard Knocks Life

When you have to beg for candy. But we did it in style.

The cast.



Annie and Punjab



Sandy



Oliver Warbucks and Miss. Hannigan




Capri's costume drove me to tears. REAL tears. But I pressed on and ended up LOVING the results.



Gotta love an excuse to wear blue eyeshadow.



Thanks to Gramma for the Sandy costume. Every time we'd talk about who we were going to be for Halloween, Sable would say the names that she could. For herself, she'd stick her tongue out like a puppy.




I'm pretty dang proud of Rome's costume. His white pants started as a ladies size 12. Now that's some serious whittling down. His turban is a ball cap with the brim cut off and covered in fleece.









Jeff's jacket was a find, $5 at the Salvation Army. I snatched it off the rack like there were a dozen other people clamoring for it. There weren't, I was just so overjoyed to find it.



Each of the little's pumpkins was filled to the brim. The BRIM.







Punjab says, Happy Halloween!

OH MY GOSH ! ! !
I cannot believe how cute it all turned out. Like I said before, I have NEVER remade clothing and wouldn't know where to begin. You created miracles! Absolutely fabulous. And Jeff shouldn't worry about losing his hair!

I loved your costumes last year (yes, I still remember what you all were) and was glad to see you did not disappoint this year.

Heather said...

Another fabulous set of Halloween costumes. Tell me, though, how in the world do you have time to make costumes (and do all of the other crafts and projects that you do) staying at home with your little ones? You really are supermom :)

You guys look awesome. But I'm curious, Aby. You never said where you got YOUR outfit. I'd like to think it came from your own personal lingerie collection. Tee-hee!
