At first the May Queen had wanted to be a chihuahua. I could not figure out how to make a chihuahua costume that wouldn't look like a cat, and for once Google failed me (although I found all sorts of costumes FOR chihuahuas!). I managed to talk her into a pink poodle. She got TONS of compliments on it, which made me beam. I have to confess, she was adorable!
Jack O Lantern designing takes concentration. Sticking your tongue out helps.
We carved our pumpkins a few days ago. I managed to lose the carving tool I bought last year (I just saw it when I unpacked the decorations! I'm sure it's around here somewhere...) so we worked together with a real knife.
Here we are with our finished projects, taken just before trick or treating this evening.
I got this great idea from Crafts by Amanda which I found through The Crafty Crow. (If you like to do crafty things with your kids you must add The Crafty Crow to your reader!). They were so simple and fun to make... we set them at the end of our driveway with candles in them.

Great photos! I love the one of MQ concentrating on her pumpkin. And the poodle costume is fantastic!
her costume is adorable, and yours is too cute as well. Love your jack o lanterns and those cute little candle holder. Hope you had a Happy Halloween! We did.
LOVE the costume. Love it more that you made it; it's a lost art.
OMGosh!! That is the cutest thing I have ever seen! She must've been the attention grabber everywhere she went.
Such a pinkalicious poodle! (and the gratuitous cat picture is wonderful).
Cute costume!
Your kitten is quite cute, too!
You have a beautiful family. And the pink poodle outfit is SO cute!
