Well, another Halloween has come and gone. And we definitely had a great time. This is Denali’s last Halloween with us, because she is a senior is high school. In the last 17 years, I’ve made a lot of costumes. I’ve been that crazy mom that has dressed my kids in costumes that go together. But, gosh it’s been fun. And I know I will be so happy that I have all of these memories and photographs for years and years to come. Sorry to get sentimental, but sometimes you just gotta be a sappy mom.

This year we decided to dress up as some of favorite characters from Napoleon Dynamite, one of our all time faves movies. And, I think it’s obvious that we had some fun.

Olivia played the role of Tine, aka “The Fat Lard”. I followed Mer Mag Blog’s Llama turtorial to make this adorable llama. I decided to take it a step further and cover her completely in fuzzy fleece. Olivia is totally in love with this llama, she’s not ready for Halloween to be over anytime soon.

Denali’s Deb costume was the by far the easiest. Just some scrunchies, a pair of thrifted mom jeans, a pink polo from amazon and running with your hands by your side is all that is needed.

Dylan’s Napoleon costume is kind of a thrifting dream come true. I found this amazing cord 3 piece suit at Salvation army for just $12. It fits him so well. I also picked up a wig and some nerdy glasses at the party store.

If you’d like to see more of our costumes over the years, just search “halloween” in the search bar and I’m sure a bunch will pop up.
