**I know it's been quiet around here lately. I needed a little blogging break and then I was doing a lot of baking for some parties and a few work projects. Hope to be feeling like life is a little less hectic.**
Last year I saw a cute little lumberjack and thought we have to do that for Halloween next year. I love, love beards on the boys and knew with a little planning ahead it could be very easy. So over the last year I kept my eyes out for red & black plaid shirts while out thrifting and found shirts for all of us. The red hats were bought at the Dollar Store. I originally was going to do face makeup beards for all the boys, but Lincoln needed a beard that could come on & off to take to school today, so my mom knit this one up real quick and I sewed it to his hat. {Thanks mama-love!} I forgot about looking for suspenders until last minute, so I did have to buy some new ones for Lincoln & Malacai. {We had one pair already that Levi wore}. Mike made the axes from insulation board and then painted them. Jeans & shoes were ones we had. Easy-peasy and pretty cheap. Also - so loved having the family dress up together. I want to do it every year! {I'm sure Mike will be all about that}





Malacai looks amazing with a beard - I'm not sure what it is - but I just absolutely love it! {Our friend told us he looks like he was born with a beard - haa!} And little Levi in those last two pictures - ahh - I could just eat him up he's so cute! He was mesmerized by the flashing timer light on the camera.
Happy Halloween!!
so cute!
ReplyDeleteum.....thats pretty much awesome!!!! I would use that for my christmas cards! xoxo
ReplyDeleteI love Linco's knit beard! Go mooms! I actually think Levi's beard looks even more natural that Malacai's :) I LOVE your photo as a family happy first and then mad - I like all the boys' mean faces. Most of all, I LOVE that Levi's face doesn't change at all for either of the photos :) Wish I could have been there to give them some candy! A Skype date sometime soon so I can see all the boys? Maybe Saturday?
