Halloween costumes revealed

I grew up in Maryland.  I was born there, and I lived there for 26 years of my life, with a 4 year hiatus when I went to college in Pensacola, Florida. 

Maybe it's crazy, but in Maryland, we went trick-or-treating on Halloween.  Is that crazy?  I don't think so.

It's not so in our great state of Pennsylvania, or Pennsyltucky, as we like to call it.  We're trick-or-treating tomorrow night, October 25th.  So weird.  I don't think I'll ever get used to it, but it does make it possible for us to trick-or-treat multiple times. 

I finished their costumes.  They love them.  I love them.  They'll be adorable.  And here they are:

We have the cowgirl:

wearing these boots, in case you missed them:

The cowboy:

And the cow:

I found the cowboy vest on Pinterest, which led me to this awesome blog called Made.  She had the pattern and step by step instructions with pictures to illustrate.  I do not have a working sewing machine, so I only had to sew the very top piece for the vest, and everything else is fabric glued or hot glued.  So easy.  Even I can do it.

Here was Madison's as a work in progress:

The flower rhinestones are hot glued on, and the "M" button is from Hobby Lobby.

Austin's vest:

His Sheriff's badge was a souvenir from our Texas trip to the annual NDSC convention.  Their bandanna's were from Hobby Lobby, and their boots were a gift. 

And our cow.  It started out as a pair of tights(WalMart), a long sleeve onesie(WalMart), a brown knit hat (Hobby Lobby), and some felt.

Cut and glue, and there you have it.

Happy Halloween, a little early.  We're going trick-or-treating tomorrow!
