Willy Wonka Halloween

I am 6 months behind on blogging but here is our most recent activity!

This last weekend was the church trunk-or-treat party. We decorated the car and called it the "Wonka Factory".. unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of it until after we started cleaning up. :(

I made lollypops out of paper plates and put them on dowels, it was cute (until they fell over). Warren Wonka gave out Golden Tickets to the kids. haha... so lame but the kids loved it.

Parker and I were Ooompa Loompa's. I saw this sexy ooompa loompa costume online and decided to design my own but make it not so "oooh la la" so I could wear to the church activity Thanks to my extremely talented mother-in-law J-Deezy, my vision became a reality. I had a lady in her ward (Linda Skinner) create a pattern for me with her fancy program and then Joanne sewed it and made it come to life. It wasn't a simple thing to do either so I am very grateful for Joanne's mad skillz on the sewing machine.

We bought Parker a toy and gave it to him as we were putting him in the costume. Our plan worked too. He was too interested in his truck to care what he was wearing. When we got home he looked in the mirror and started dancing. He loved his green hair and orange face.

FUN WAS HAD BY ALL!

Too bad we didn't have our Bunker/Carter/Duff Halloween Party this year or else we could have possibly beat the Poorts who have won Best Costume the last 3 years... but probably not. haha!
