it's costume time. . .

it's halloween time and halloween time means costumes:)

i have always loved dressing up for halloween.

i can remember almost every costume i've worn since i was like 5.

kitten, bride, witch, BYU cheerleader, waitress, vampire, crayon..the list goes on.

i'm lucky to have a niece that has a birthday is around halloween!

for the past couple of years we have attended my nieces'

halloween themed costume party, and for

the past couple of years logan & i have won the costume contest:)

for this year's costume i wanted to actually be something feminine.

the last four halloweens i have been:

an old man, a biker, a british police officer, and a boy scout.

i needed to mix it up this year.

i found this picture on Pinterest & it became my inspiration:

marry poppins & bert the chimney sweep!

after a little convincing logan decided he would do it.

he was not excited about the idea i had to smudge eye liner

on his face so it would look like he had been sweeping chimneys.

here is our version:

i literally found everything i needed for my costume

at my grandma's house:)

the hat, blouse, skirt, boots, gloves & bag all came from her!

i bought some fake flowers to put on the hat and got a bow for

50 cents at DI to complete the look!

we basically bought everything for logan at the DI.

we got his his neck tie rag, shirt, jacket & hat for around $13.

he wore his own pants and shoes, & made his chimney sweep all by himself!

we went to the dinky halloween isle at Smith's and

logan found a broken devil's pitch-fork that they gave us for free.

we bought some black pipe cleaners and logan whipped up his

sweep in about 10 minutes!

logan & i ended up in a tie for 1st place in the costume

contest this year at my niece's party.

my mom and dad came in the following costume:

my mom & i may or may not be very competitive people, and we may

or may not have been talking about our costumes

for weeks before the party.

she wanted to beat me & i wanted to beat her in the contest.

ironically we tied, but she admitted that mine was

the better costume:)

the party was fun & we enjoyed every minute of it.

i hope logan & i get the chance to wear our costumes at least

a few more times this halloween season.

if you know of any sweet halloween parties in the provo

area let me know:)
