Halloween Happenings

I have been in kind of a blogging funk lately. I have just been really busy and haven't felt like writing at the end of the day. So Halloween was last Monday and making Luke's costume was one of the things that was keeping me busy. Luke was Jabba the Hut this year from Star Wars. You may ask how this came to be; well they were out of any decent baby costumes at the costume store and since Ethan wanted to be a "Clone Trooper" I wanted to stay in the Star Wars theme, so making a costume was the only way at that point. I took pictures as I sewed, painted and stuffed his costume, for you to enjoy. It was a beast to make and definitely put my sewing skills to the test.

Halloween night we went to the Olympia mall for a event that a church here puts on, we go to their Halloween events every year. It was INSANE! There were massive amounts of people there but Ethan had such a blast...Luke was tired and cranky.

After the mall we went Trick-or-Treating a bit, then off to our yearly tradition; dinner with our favorite friends at......Applebees! I am still not sure why we go there as their food isn't anything to write home about but we have been doing it now for years, why change it. By the time we got home around 11 both boys were seriously passed out, like drooling. I have eaten a total of 5 Halloween candies of Lukes and last night at the gym I made myself pay the price for it. They were yummy and chocolaty though sooooo worth every step on that treadmill.
