Full Moon Festival.....EDWARD!

Tonight was the unveiling of the Edward Scissorhand costume that my mom and I had worked so hard on for the last month. I first stumbled across this diy blog several months ago and just fell in love with the idea of Dane as Edward Scissorhands.

 

Dane did an awesome job acting the part and WE WON BEST COSTUME at the Full Moon Festival!

 

 

Here's the makeup.

 

Adding the wig really made it.



 

 

 

Some before shots here at the house before we left.

 

 

 

He really mastered that wide eyed Edward Scissorhand "look".

 Totally cracks me up!

 

 

 

Love this one in front of the library!

 

 

 

Ok. So Olive was there too. Let's not forget this cutie!

 She was a cute little pink monster.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Seriously?! How cute is my little family!

 

We had a blast! Next up is Patient Appreciation Day at my office, followed by trick or treat night in Zanesfield. Dane has to wear this 2 more times!  Awesome :)

So many things we take for granted. Daily. How sad.

 

Fall reminds me of this every year. Not because Thanksgiving is soon coming but because I get to see this view everyday and most of the time I'm not paying attention. However, in the fall it DEMANDS your attention with it's colors. How beautiful. How lucky to live here and see this everyday. This county is full of wonderfully beautiful things, caverns, castles, historical sites. How sad that we live here and don't frequent these places or pay attention to how special they are.

 

This applies to everything in our lives. How lucky are we?! EXTREMELY!

 

 

Feeling so grateful for all I've been given.  So blessed. 

Field Trip Day

@ Leed's Pumpkin Farm!  So fun. I'd love to come here sometime with friends or family. There are alot of different activities for everyone.

 

My handsome boy.

Back off ladies you'll have to fight me for him!

 

 

 

 

 

Hand feeding the cute little goats. I think we need some goats at home.

 

 

Rolling around.

Pedeling the tractor bikes. This was his favorite thing.

 

 

 

Showing his prize pumpkin/gourds.

 

 

 

We're busy here working on Dane's super cool Halloween Costume. It's the first one I've actually made (my mom's helping me) and not bought. It's got  MAJOR cool factor. Can't wait to unveil him in it. It needs to be finished by the 20th for Zanesfields Full Moon Festival. 

 

Olive will be a monster. A cute little monster. Maybe next year I'll make her (aka my mom will help me) something and I'll just buy Dane one. I've always wanted to make a Rainbow Brite costume. Remember her all you peeps from 1980 something?! Now wouldn't that be precious!

 

Baby It's Cold Outside

 

Fall has definitely arrived! It was darn right chilly this weekend.  Bundling up the babies for they went out to play was a must!

 

I am NOT looking forward to the endless mess of hats/gloves/scarves. It took me 10 minutes and approx 10 individual gloves to find a pair that actually were the same size and matched! Notice after all that he's not even wearing said gloves! I need a better system.

 

Not to mention trying to keep those items on Olive's body. The only reason she's wearing this hat is because it's attached to her dress underneath and I think she forgot about it.
