Easy Halloween Costume

Our baby started out with the nick-name, "green-bean" because the first sonogram looked like--

well-- a green-bean!

Then, once she arrived, our term of endearment quickly turned into, "pumpkin." There was really no question what she would be for Halloween.

The only question was how was I going to make it?

I decided the tutu would add some girly fun to our little pumpkin. And, I love the orange tulle with just a hint of sparkle in it. About every third strip of tulle is the sparkle tulle,

just enough.

You would think that orange onesies would abound at Halloween. But they don't. So a plain white onesie dyed orange had to do. And some simple black fabric and wonder-under finished out the jack-o-lantern face.

The stem hair bow needs a little re-working for the big day. I'd like to move the leaves so that the clip doesn't show at all.

The best part of the whole costume-photo-shoot was playing with our little pumpkin in the leaves. She thought falling leaves were hilarious!!!! So, of course, Nana and I scooped up big hand-fulls and threw them in the air and giggled right along with her.

And, of course, because she is almost eight months old and is teething (ummm...have I mentioned that it looks like her cuspids might be coming in? Have I also mentioned that she doesn't have any other teeth? Are we going to have to change her costume to Bunicula???

Mmmm!

Now for the fun!!!
