Partying Halloween Style





We had a party at our friends' house this past Friday. I found a Spiderman costume for Trenton, but poor little Dallas had to deal with me being too cheap to drop $20 on a superman costume made of cheap felt. Gettind dressed in costume for the party went something like this. "Brooklyn has red tights in 6-12 month size. . see if we can squeeze Dallas into those. And I've got a blue shirt and Dallas has a red sweatshirt. Let's just print the superman logo. Where are some safety pins to put it on his shirt? Okay, we've got a red cape from when Trenton was the devil. Blue underwear . .I'm looking ..can't find any. He doesn't have any!!! At this precise moment Trenton takes off his pants to get into his costume and reveals his blue underwear. Dave and I both look at each other and tell Trenton to drop his undies cause Dallas needs them for his costume. Golden. Now that's a memory. I can see it now. . Trenton saying "Dallas remember when you were two and had to wear my dirty underwear for your Halloween costume because mom wouldn't buy you one?" At least the pictures don't make it look half as ghetto as it did in person.
Dave is sporting the Peter Pan look in womens size small yoga pants and a shirt that just insn't quite long enough. My mom came over the day of the party and with her mad sewing skills helped (okay let's get serious she pretty much made and I occasionally helped) make me a tinkerbell costume. The best part was the left over fabric which we used to make Brooklyn some matching Tinkerbell attire. She made a beautiful little fairy.

I love the blurry baby Tink picture. And I especially love having one kid drop his drawers to slap 'em on your other kid-fantastic!

All of your posts make me laugh so hard (except the stitches of course!)The thought of Dave fitting into a women's size small is hilarious and the whole story with Dallas's costume and Trenton's underwear...priceless. I love it!!

The story is a tad bit more funny when you tell it but reading it was classic too! Reason # 6328 on why I'll NEVER have kids! Thanks Bri...you and Shelli are the best forms of birth control there is! =)

P.S. Did Stacy ever receive her calendars?

wow, you put my halloween efforts (or the lack thereof) to shame. Can you send some of that super-mom-ness my way?!

what fun! I'm sure it's never a dull moment at your house with those boys! Love the costumes, and I'm proud of your husband for putting on yoga pants. My husband would never do that!

I love Dallas' outfit! It's all about making the memories, and how could a $20 store bought costume have done it any better than your homemade one?

YOU'VE BEEN TAGGED! See my blog for details.
Sometimes I think you might be as crazy as I am. Maybe that is why I miss hanging out with you so much.
