the rest of the festivities!

Here's our Star Wars crew.  Thanks to cousin Amy for some of the costumes- and to my pal Kristi for helping me sew the rest!!!

                                                                             Han Solo.
The costumes were a big hit. Except with Metta.  She HATED my leia wig.  Here's her reaction. :)  It terrified her.
Our Halloween this year spanned all through the week.  I like the getting the most out of our costumes so I was happy to have parties, trick or treating, trunk or treating, and other events to attend so we could!

Last year for Christmas I got a sewing machine.  And this year for Halloween I finally opened it up :)  These jedi robes weren't too tricky at all. and the boys really loved them!
 Yoda here was a little tougher. I did her robes- but my friend did her ears.  It was the perfect weather for a warm fleece hat!
Doesn't she make the perfect little Yoda?
On Hallween Day- Metta wore her bones tutu from gma Pat- and I topped it with her skelly pjs.
this girl is SO fast on her knees these days!  
A few nights before Halloween- I thought our actual trick or treating was going to be cancelled due to Hurricane Sandy (which brought us lots of cold, rain, and snow!)-so I took the kids to Wright State University to Trick or Treat with all of their athletes.  We got a ton of candy- and it was nice and dry and warm inside.
I told Zeb and Ike to pose next to this cool "car".  They hadn't seen the skeleton driving yet.  After taking the picture I showed them the driver and told them what a 'hearse' was.  Needless to say- the boys asked to go home right away.  They HATED this thing :)
Our last event was our church trunk or treat.

Zeb wore this Ewok costume that I LOVE.  so dang cute.
this girl would NOT be still.  She crawled the entire gym floor several times!
 Until next year :)

GREAT post! We all think Ike is using the force to gather all the candy into his bag on the first picture.

I just went back in time looking at the first pic and was like, "Aww, look at Ike as Yoda." Then I realized Ike's a lot older than that. Metta has never looked so Ike as she does in the Yoda costume. It's cute.

So funny! Loved all the costumes and I loved "Yoda"..especially with a binki...she looks so wise! I seriously want that hearse! Or maybe just the driver!
