This year we were the least prepared and had the most events to go to. This year Halloween extended into two weekends. This year we were too busy with work and the new house to give proper time and attention to our costumes. This year everything turned out just fine and we got creative at the last minute. This year we had a great Halloween experience.
My mother worked her hair magic and turned my hair-down-my-back into a short bob for my Grace Kelly persona.
Marcus got lucky and doned PJs to the party for his part as Jimmy Stewart from Alfred Hitchcock's Rear Window.
Check out the original here
We went to such a great party over at the Brimley's.
Don't they look fantastic?
I don't know why, but whenever I see pomegranates I think of Where The Wild Things Are.
Do you agree?
My family had a Halloween Dinner for my nieces birthday and I didn't want to do my Grace Kelly hair again, so last minute I had the idea of being Stephanie Tanner (from Full House). That show was the greatest, was it not?
I tried to convince Marcus to be Danny Tanner (Bob Saget), but everything he put on looked too normal, so he happily pulled out his Trachten (bought while he was living in Germany) and went as Captain von Trapp (Sound of Music)

My nephew wanted to be a "church guy" for Halloween! Haha he thought Marcus was that as well.
Perhaps the greatest costume in the history of Halloween was when my sister and her beau showed up as my PARENTS! Hahahah, I'm sure it's not nearly as funny since most of you don't know my parents, but the entire house was in tears when they walked in. My brother actually thought it WAS my mom. So, so good!
We then headed over to Lauren and Ted's house for a delicious second meal of stuffed pumpkin. I had never heard of it, but it sure was tasty (and beautiful). We were laughing the whole night, until we watched the scariest movie ever--When A Stranger Calls, then we weren't laughing anymore. YIKES!
I carved my pumpkin in tribute to our little stray porch kitties. Can't wait to light it up tonight!
HAPPY HALLOWEEN!
Be Safe, Have Fun, and pray that the dead roach on our porch does NOT come back to life on this spooky Hallow's Eve!

Your hair impressive how she made it look short!
Oh my word, you look JUST like Stephanie Tanner hahah! Too funny!
Is that a looufa in your hair???
Your Grace Kelly dress is so pretty (and spot on) but my favourite has got to be your Stephanie Tanner. That show was epic.
Best costume ever! I died laughing when I saw Leisel's costume. Exactly like your parents!
Oh my gosh these are such adorable photos! You pull off Stephanie Tanner and Grace Kelly very well :)

Wow your costumes are awesome!!! I really really love both of them.
And I absolutely agree with you about Full House. It was one of my childhood favorite show. I was lucky that we also had it in Spain.
Ahahaha, I'm totally loving the Full House Costume! So freaking cute! And seriously? Last minute? My costume would not have been that good if I'd had months to prepare. Creative is just not in my genes.
Great Grace Kelly costume. So elegant and beautiful.
I love both your costumes. they're so great. and your dress is so similar to the one in the movie! I love Rear Window :)
The first costume is lovely! I remember those coats from the 90's so well too, so so noisy. (:
I am dying over the Stephanie Tanner outfit. You so pulled it off perfectly! And you look beautiful as Grace Kelly!
Looks like you guys rocked the house as Rear View Window characters, but that Stephanie Tanner costume is to die for. Seriously. Great idea and you pulled it off perfectly.
Taking that picture with Brik really made his day. He took it it mean that it was an awesome costume and decided to go as a "church guy" Halloween night too.
I love your costumes! They are fantastic!! I adore your Grace Kelly dress! It is so pretty!
Oh my goodness i loved both your costumes! you are perfect for the stephanie tanner! haha
Love the costumes! Question, did you make the skirt? I've been trying to make a skirt like that for our semi-formal in a couple weeks and I haven't had any luck finding a pattern and I don't even know where to begin to calculate how much tulle I need. Help, please?!
this is your cousin, jenny.
holy crap! that is the funniest costume ever--leisel looks just.like.your.mom!!!
(& you look adorable as grace kelly.)
oh, my. thanks for the smile.
All these costumes make me painfully jealous of your awesomeness. I love the Grace Kelly one, of course, but as a child of the 80's (and a middle child, at that), I adore your Stephanie Tanner look. It's just perfect.
you are the BEST stephanie tanner. and i knew immediately who marcus was as captain von trapp.
and i'm so glad you posted the rear window photos. i was just telling my old roommate how the glimpse i got of your costumes on lauren's blog were the cutest EVER.
