Halloween - 2018

Another Halloween :)

As always, I love to document my kids as they grow and I love getting them all dressed up for Halloween. 

Grant is old enough now that we don't have much say in his costumes.  Luckily we can still dress Leah (for now!)

Grant (currently 4) went as Captain America!

Leah (Currently 1) went as Wonder Woman!

Leah, of course, refused to leave the headband on, so I didn't get many pictures of her in the full costume!

Love, love, love living life with these 2 crazy kids!

And one final close up of my chubby cheek baby girl. I'm going to miss the baby fat on her when she gets older.

Halloween - 2017

I love Halloween! This year we had Cinderella (and her carriage) and a dinosaur! This was the first year that we let Grant choose his own costume. I was pretty surprised when he chose a dinosaur! I figured he'd choose one of the PJ Masks or Paw Patrol.

We only got a couple pictures of Grant. He was a blur most of the day/night. He was running around non stop growling like a dinosaur.  The fact that we were able to get one decent picture was a miracle.

Leah isn't mobile yet, so she was easier :)

My husband decided to get creative and turn our Radio Flyer wagon into Cinderella's carriage. This worked out great since Leah is only 6 months and has to be pushed around.

I think she was laughing at Grant here. She thinks he is hilarious!

Love this shot! My husband takes the best pictures.

Her smiles make up for all of the exhaustion :)

I love this picture.  The look Leah is giving her big brother cracks me up. I can totally see them in about 12 years and her being annoyed and exasperated with him - haha.

Grant - Halloween 2015

Halloween 2015 was a success at the Martinez casa this year. So far my husband only wants Grant to dress up as a professional athlete.  We aren't fans of the store bought costumes for little ones.  The options (especially for babies!) are very limited and usually end up being animals that are thick, hot material.  We live in Texas and Halloween is usually hot and humid, so fleece costumes aren't ideal.

Last year Grant was Michael Phelps.  I thought it was adorable and everyone at the fall festival got a kick out of it.  I loved my shirtless chunky baby!

Keeping with the sports theme, we went with our favorite quarterback, Peyton Manning!

Look at that Game Face.  Perfect!

 

 I found a tutorial online for some DIY football pads and they turned out awesome! My local craft store didn't sell the foam by the yard like the tutorial called for and they also didn't sell .5" thick foam.  I had to get 1" thick and cut it in half.  It was awful and made a huge mess, but the end result was absolutely worth it! It really made the entire outfit!
