Comic Con 2013

Flying minion

 After checking out the Children's Museum we walked around Comic Con. Comic Con is a huge event in San Diego. We couldn't get tickets to the actual convention. However it was fun walking around downtown and checking out all the costumes. D wore his new Robin costume he got for his birthday. My boys LOVE super heroes. Seeing life size Legos and the Justice League walking around the streets of San Diego is cool but I could do without the Zombies!!! I hate zombies!

 We totally geeked out on the superhero cars.

Paper dolls are fun.

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle...

This Halloween both the boys wanted to dress up as something I couldn't buy at Party City. So the Hubby and I went head to head in a costume building composition. The challenge was for him to help FW be a shower. His inspiration: the original Karate Kid. I had to help D become Leonardo aka the blue Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. I think both the costumes turned out great! Happy Halloween
D was a very lucky turtle. He got to go trick or treating with both his Grandmas, an Aunt and Mom&Dad!

I found this backpack at Sea World. It really pulls the whole ensemble together!

Super Party

I couldn't help myself here are some more pictures from the party. Instead of grab bags I filled reusable cups with goodies to take home.

Superhero Party

I sewed the streamers together to give them a ruffled look. I got the idea from this blog www.dana-made-it.com/ It is so easy!
My nephew is ready to get the bad guys.

I made the boys masks out of felt and ribbon. I cut up t-shirts to make their super capes.

Boys suiting up for action!

Ready for some ice cream cake!

It was a great party! The boys stayed the night at my Mom's the night before the party. It was fun getting ready for the party just me and the hubby. When D came home we had the place transformed. He was surprised and excited.

That's a lot of booty! So nice to see the kids using their Trick or Treat bags I made for them. I was happy not one fell apart. Something you don't see every day...A Banana beating up Andy Kaufman!

So sorry to see Halloween go! It was a wonderful night and the kids got lots of candy for Mom and Dad insert evil laugh. Dr. G was a monkey and F.W. was Andy Kaufman which not to many people got but F.W thought it was awesome!

Now that Thanksgiving is fast approaching its time to put my sewing into high gear for X-Mas gifts. I am planning on making Dr.G a super cape for when he is saving animals. I've made him a couple capes out of his big brother's old t shirts but I want to make him a special one with a D on the back! I also want to make taxi tote for a friend.

I am looking for a pattern to make a table runner. I haven't had any luck all the patterns I find are quilts which I don't want.
