costume time

this weekend i went to visit my brother and his family in jerome. they just moved in their new house and let me join their halloween festivities since drew was out of town. my cute little niece harper was little red riding hood, so i dressed as the big bad wolf disguised as granny. 

harper's grandma made her darling costume. i threw together a shower cap and crocheted wolf ears last minute. found some glasses at the thrift store and megan happened to have the perfect muumuu. 

"oh, what big eyes you have!" 

harper and i were trunk or treating partners and she was the cutest little red riding hood i've ever seen. she held my hand the whole time and i felt honored to be her auntie. harper loves candy and everybody fell in love with her.

 that night we made sugar cookies. i was worried this year was going to be lame since we aren't in college anymore with parties to attend nor do we have cute little children to dress up and take trick or treating. but thanks to chase and meg it was so much fun!

 yesterday, we dressed up as pumpkins. we made a little pumpkin patch. i found jimmy's costume and just about died of cuteness. so we went with it and got t-shirts to match. i crocheted a pumpkin lid headband because i was too lazy to make the whole hat.

this picture cracks me up. it'd be a lot sweeter if it were a baby. drew's a good sport.

 oh, that over the shoulder pose kills me! last night we met up with our friends tanner and dar and went out to eat in downtown. we explored the streets spying on trick or treaters and ended the night with caramel apples and a scary movie. i'm not a huge fan of scary movies, and it made me feel better that dar was hiding behind her blanket too.
