This year I went a little nuts on costumes. Okay, that's an understatement. I was a whirlwind of creativity, and I had so much FUN!! Whitney wanted to be a big fat pumpkin. So I got some ideas online and made a pattern for this. I thought she was the cutest pumpkin ever!
Brianna (for some odd reason!) wanted to be a hot dog! Again, just looked for ideas and inspiration online. I had to make the bun twice. The first time it looked like it was made for a two-year-old. She looked good enough to snarf.
Laurel was a super hero with her friend McKenna. The only thing I had to make for her costume was the "S" on her cape (for Sanchez, of course). All her friends call her "Sanchez," not Laurel!
You can also see little Boo peeking out. She even had me cut her hair so that she would look more like Boo! We dressed her in leggings and one of my pink shirts so that it'd be long, just like Boo.
All the rest of us (Maho, me, ellie and Tessy) were characters from Monsters, Inc. These costumes were my favorite to make!

I wish I could take credit for this cute Boo costume, but I borrowed it from a neighbor who'd made it a couple years ago. What a lifesaver!! That saved me a whole day! Tessy and Ellie were the talk of their whole school in their costumes! 
I was Roz. I think was what so fun about all the rest of these costumes is I didn't have patterns, so the creative juices were really flowing. I even surprised myself!
I'll be watching.... Always watching!!
We talked Maho into being Sully!! And what a great Sully he was! I made the head out of paper mache. That was SO FUN! I even squealed with delight at each step of the process as Sully came to life before my very eyes. I may post pics of the process...
I didn't get around to doing his hands and feet (go figure, eh?). Maybe next year...
Ellie was Mike Wazowsky. Her costume was hands-down my favorite to make ever!! The ninas helped me with this. I made him by putting paper mache over an exercise ball. I'm telling you, paper mache has opened up a whole new world for me!! I can build ANYTHING now! Everyone at the school was talking about "Mike Wazowsky." She won the costume contest of her classroom.
Here we all are at the ward party. We won the costume contest!
We may take an easier route next year. On the other hand, now that I can do paper mache.... a whole new world has opened up! Bwa ha ha ha ha!!!

How cool. All of those costumes look so good. I also think my favorite is the eyeball but they're all very good.
Those are awesome!! I'm so glad you shared. I've been sewing up a storm also; a missionary stocking, Alycia's halloween costume, and plethora of baby gifts. Now I need to start on Landon & Hayley's Christmas gifts - then I'm done for awhile.
