This year I set out to make my kids' Halloween costumes, as if I didn't have enough projects going on :). It took quite a few sleepless nights, but I finished them in time for the ward party, which was held last night. Though it took a lot of effort to make them, I have to say that it was worth it. I got a lot of compliments on the costumes, and they were unique. Though Andre was the only elephant, there were quite a few lions, and to be honest - Harper was the cutest one. See for yourself:

This picture would have been a lot cuter without the binky, but Harper would not cooperate. (Andre was even worse)

Here we are on the way to the party


There were a lot of fun games the kids could participate it and get little prizes. Andre loved it. He also decided to stop at the coloring table - I have to mention he was the only one there, since the other games looked a lot more fun

Andre throwing plastic spiders into pumpkin buckets. Check out the kids wrist - a basketball player in the making!

In line to playt yet another game

This was Andre favorite by far - Ghost bowling

Andre and his best friend Allie - sadly they moved up north, so he won't get to play with her much anymore. Allie was a cute flower fairy, though
Joni, I still think she should have gone as Captain Hook like she wanted. :)

Cute little girl Natalia - so girly

This is the best picture I could get of Andre's costume

Great job on the costumes. I haven't dressed Annabelle up for Halloween yet. I guess I'm just lazy.
I can't believe you made those!! They are adorable and VERY impressive!
AMAZING costumes Masha! I am thoroughly impressed by your talents. Great work! Did you use a pattern?
Those costumes look like you bought them at a very expensive boutique or something. You are flippin amazing! I'm calling you next year for help with my kids. How much do you charge?! ;)
Oh my gosh!! Mashka, you are the best mom ever! :) can i be your third kid? i can't believe you made those costumes they look so professionally made... crazy! did you make them from patterns or did you made them up?
I did use a pattern, it's a McCall's pattern of 5 Tom Arma costumes (http://www.mccallpattern.com/item/M8938.htm). All of them are super cute and I had hard time decided which ones I was going to make, but then Andre decided to be an elephant, and lion went very well with that.
OH MY Masha those costumes are to die for!!! I LOVE THEM! You are so talented and I wish I lived by you so I could make costumes with you! You saw Dallin's lion & it wasn't half as cute as Harpers, & Vivy LOVES elephants. I am always impressed with your project, way to go!
The costumes turned out great! Go Masha! Has it really been 6 months that you had Harper? Wow!
