The Hadfield Halloween party was on Saturday, Oct. 26th. This also happened to be the day we did family pictures :) After pictures up the canyon, we sped back down with a brief stop by Denise's house to drop off final copies of the Primary program for the next day - just in case I failed to make it to sacrament meeting, as often happens. We got home and hurried to change into our costumes and head to Mom's house. Most of my pictures were blurry :(, but fortunately, Mom put hers in our Dropbox folder, so I can have some less than blurry ones :)
To be honest, I was much more excited for Henlie and Matt's costumes than my own. In fact, I pretty much just threw mine together.
So, this is the only one with all three of us . . . and I have no idea who Matt's talking to or where he's looking :)
Matt was Dr. Robert Chase from House. We've been watching House for awhile (the last disc should come in the mail from Netflix today - so sad!) Anyway, he and Chase are a lot alike and even kind of look like each other, so I decided that was who he was going to be for Halloween haha. We bought the labcoat, borrowed the stethoscope, and I edited a replicated name tag off of DeviantArt (thank you thank you thank you person with mad artistic skills! haha) and used a clip from his old missionary tag to attach it to his coat.
I had already planned Henlie's costume when I was pregnant based off of the onesie I bought on Zulily. And then I found the shoes on Zulily while still pregnant haha. I made her ears and her tail. There is a wire hanger in them to give them shape, unfortunately, that made her tail pretty heavy, so I had to pin it to her shirt if I wanted it to stay up :) I glued the ears onto clips so we could put them right in her hair or on a headband. We went with a headband this year. I then drew on her face with eyeliner. She rubbed her nose right off and I had to reapply when we got in the house. Isn't she an adorable little cheetah/leopard/something cat?
I was Little Red Riding Hood. I've had this red cape for ages (and yes, it does have a hood, I'm just not wearing it :)) I was going to wear my broomstick skirt, but it turns out I'd already given it to the DI :) So, I was a little more modern in my under-cape attire. I bought the basket at DI for $1 on the same shopping trip I picked up Matt's lab coat (at *not* the DI - that's a full price actual lab coat, friends. The store was just really close to the DI :)) I put a jar of honey in it and wrapped a Powerade or Gatorade bottle in a linen dishcloth to make it look like a loaf of bread. The basket was also a handy place for my phone and the aforementioned eyeliner. Oh, and Mocha's headband. Yeah, we had the dog, too :)
So, Mocha! I'd almost forgotten her :) (Neither picture is from the party... apparently we didn't love her enough to take any of her that night haha) Zulily had dog costumes on one day for actually decent prices, and there was the cutest butterfly costume. At the time, I had money, so I ordered it for her. Now our puppy has two to choose from :)
Taken the day the costume came in the mail. Had to make sure it fit, right? haha
This is also like the only time she kept the antennae on.
Fun fact: Henlie could totally wear this too. Unfortunately, since it is made for dogs, the butterfly part of the skirt doesn't come around the front, which would make it a little awkward if Henlie were wearing it :)

Mostly we hung out and had some dinner. There was also an activity going on downstairs for the kids, and then there was the chicken dance performed upstairs haha We love getting to spend time with our family! And now, some random pictures from the evening. Enjoy!

Jennifer was the amazing talent behind the costume.
Grandma fed Henlie some applesauce for dinner.
I love this photo of the two of them :)
