Happy Halloween (+ Easy Costume Ideas)

If you've never worn false eyelashes before, you should really try it. Halloween is a perfect excuse! We dressed up for a Halloween party and I was a scarecrow. Obviously. This costume was so easy because I had everything I needed on hand... flannel shirt, jeans and boots, straw hat, and a package of raffia.  If you need a quick costume, this is it! (Don't forget to try some big, fluffy false eyelashes, because they are just too fun!)

The girls are scary & sweet again (see this post circa 2010) - one a corpse bride and one a candy corn witch. I bought both their costumes on Amazon for under $40 total. They are super happy, and frankly, so am I. Easy and ready to go!

So here's the whole lot of us. My hubby is the cute farmer - a real departure for my city boy! After enjoying a good laugh at the sight of him in overalls, the look grew on me. The farmer costume is another easy one, especially if you're looking to dress as a couple. We went to every thrift store in town looking for overalls, then ended up snagging a pair at Walmart (oh, the shame). Check out this rockin' family Halloween shot (from 2008!) for another easy couple costume idea.

Happy Halloween, from my family to yours!
