Ride'em Cowboy!!

Happy Halloween!
I hope everyone had a great Halloween and didn't eat too much candy! Bobby is still fighting a cold/croup, so we had a pretty low key Halloween. (Shoot...I made his costume, and he was going to wear it!!) We started with a little pumpkin carving last night, then today we visited my parent's and Casey and Jason's for a little trick-or-treating fun. (Ok, ok...I did the carving, but you know what I mean!)

Checking out the pumpkins!


Skeletor!!

This year was Bobby's first time to dress up! He went as a cowboy! He was so adorable in his little chaps and boots. He wasn't quite sure what to think of the boots, they were a lot bulkier than what he is used to. I saw a similar costume on Etsy, but it didn't fit my costume budget, so I made this one for less than $5!! This was my first attempt at making clothing and although it is not without it's flaws, I think it turned out pretty good! And best of all...it fits! I used his jeans as a guide for the chaps, and I measured Bobby's shoulders and used one of his T-shirts as a guide for the vest. Even though you can't see it, I also made a cute belt buckle with a star on it.

Yee-Haw!!

Howdy!
