Halloween Costume Contest Winners!!!

babyblogaddict — Tue, 04 Nov 2008 03:08:00 +0000

We’re excited to announce BBA’s 2nd Annual Halloween Costume Contest Winners. You all made it so hard to choose. All the costumes were great, but we felt that these three really caught our attention.

Baby Betty as a Cabbage Patch Kid

Betty’s Mom said…My husband and I decided to have our baby be a Cabbage Patch Kid for her first Halloween because everybody says she looks like one. We built the box out of wood and painted it by hand, it is 1.75 scale of an original Cabbage Patch Kid box. The birth certificate is an official Cabbage Patch birth certificate specially ordered with our baby’s real name and birth date…and yes that is her real hair. She is 6 months old. We had a lot of fun creating this fun costume and our baby loved it too.

Gracie as a Sushi Roll

Gracie’s mom said…My daughter is Asian and I just HAD to make her a sushi roll…..look at her candy bag….I took a fabric tote and printed “Kikko-GiGi Soy Sauce” (GiGi is her nickname)…It is something she can use and smile about when she thinks about the Halloween when she went as “The Gracie Roll”!!!

Caroline as Amelia Earhart in her red Lockheed Vega

Amy said…Caroline is 8 months old and loves being pulled around in her plane!

PRIZES:

:: Baby Betty and Gracie each win a custom blurb book from blurb.com (each is valued at $29.95).

:: Caroline wins a diaper clutch from JackaroosBoutique.com.

Super Why Costume and Logo

babyblogaddict — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 19:59:00 +0000

The Super Why costume seems to be very popular and VERY hard to come by this year. The costume is sold-out online and has been for weeks, except if you want to pay upwards of $75 on ebay, which isn’t even an option now, since I need it by Wednesday. Can you tell that this is all my 3-year-old son wants to be and now I’m trying to creating a costume for him…at the last minute, I might add?

I came across a homemade costume at Just Treadmilling Around and she has posted great step-by-step directions with pictures for everyone. She also has the logo as a pdf that she can email, but I found a crisp one that I’ve attached here. You can click on it to make it bigger, save it and print it onto iron on transfer paper. I purchased some HP Iron-on Transfers at Target, but I’m sure you can get it at an office store or maybe even Michaels.

I hope this helps!

Halloween Costumes: Bumble Bee, Star Wars & The Very Hungry Caterpillar

Cadence the Bumble Bee

Jolene says, “Here are my 2 Star Wars fanatics! Connor (5) is Boba Fett and Myles (7) is Obi Wan Kenobi! They are just posing with R2 D2 the pumpkin, which was not ours. I don’t want to take credit for someone else’s creativity! I just thought it was very fitting with their costumes!”

Baby Sam as a not-so-happy caterpillar…maybe she’s “The Very Hungry Caterpillar”?
