Ninjas!

Well, hello there! It's been a few days....
We have been busy: trick-or-treating, a week long visit from my mom (while Todd and I sneaked away, sans kids,  for 2 of those days), and busy with preparations for someone's birthday tomorrow.

I hope you all had a fun Halloween! We sure did. This year we were all ninjas, at the kids request, and it was the easiest batch of costumes yet. We each wore a black shirt and black pants, which we already had. For our ninja hoods, we used a solid colored long-sleeved t-shirt and tied it using these directions. Super easy. I sewed matching belts for the kids using coordinating fabric. And  no ninja costume would be complete without pretend nun chucks. To make them, I took black foam pipe insulation and cut it into 8-inch pieces. I attached 2 pieces of foam with a rope that was secured with hot glue. Voila! Cute (and safe) nun chucks.

Here are a few pictures of our adventures:
