2 Scoops Please! // Ice Cream Halloween Costume

Two scoops please! 

I can’t believe Halloween has come and gone already! Wasn’t it just the end of September like, yesterday?!?!

Halloween was such a busy day for us, though also, so good! We stayed close to our neighborhood with family and delighted in Abby really getting the whole, “trick-or-treat” thing this year. 

And all of us were dying of cuteness the whole night because the cherry on top would slightly wobble when Abby walked. 

So. Dan. Fun.

This year’s family Halloween costume was super easy to make because I gun glued the sprinkles during nap time, and Steve's spoon took me all of 10 minutes to make from start to finish! Completely do-able! And last minute! : )

If you’d like to see how I made her two scoops of costumes (along with a handful of fun photos) I'm happy to help with that, as all of you know, I live for this kind of stuff.

DIY Two Scoops Of Ice Cream // Halloween Costume

Step-by-step Directions

Step 1 

Cut out a rectangle shaped piece of felt 1 inch by 2 inches. Then glue gun the middle section of the rectangle.

Step 2

Roll the bottom to the top and add a bit of glue to secure your roll/sprinkle.

Step 3

Place your sprinkles on top of your child's tutu skirt and arrange as preferred. 

Step 4

Next, glue gun all your felt sprinkle pieces to the tutu skirt. Front and back.

Step 5

For the cherry, I borrowed this idea from one of my favorite websites  Studio DIY,  although I made my own twist to the cherry on top. First, I blew up a red balloon to my desired shaped, then glue gunned a hair clip to the bottom of the balloons knot (I promise you it won't pop!).

Step 6

Next, I cut out a stem shaped from red card stock paper (we want it to stand up nice and firm!)

Step 7

Then I taped the stem to the balloon by flipping a small portion of the bottom slightly back with scotch tape.

Step 8

Add gold tights and shoes to represent the ice cream cone, a pink tutu for the second scoop of ice cream and viola! 

Step 9

Lastly, don't forget to add the cherry on top for that final touch. : )

DIY Shooting Star // Last Minute Halloween Costume

(cake pop series) 

We give you our last-minute Halloween costume… a shooting star!

Glitter clip C/O Little Miss Lady Shop

Silver shoes

This weeks theme "last minute" is our easiest and quickest DIY Costume because you can make it in under 10 minutes!

We used this black tutu dress although you most likely have a black top and bottom already in your little one’s closet. Just be sure you’re ok with them not wearing it again, as this costume requires everything to be glued with a glue gun.

So, here is how I made our DIY last minute Halloween costume. The shooting star!

//  1  \\

Curl 4 colors of ribbon for your shooting star with scissors and then set aside. We used rose gold (1x), gold (1x) and silver (2x).

//  2  \\

Criss-cross one end of each ribbon over the other and wrap tape around all 4 at the top. As shown, then set aside.

//  3  \\

Using a star cookie cutter, place it onto of a silver foam piece. Trace around the start and cut out the pattern. 

//  4  \\

Next, glue gun the curled ribbon to the star on the bottom middle of its shape. As shown.

//  5  \\

Then glue gun the curled ribbon and star piece to the top right corner of your little ones’ dress.

//  6  \\

Arrange and organize your curl ribbon as you want it look on top of the black dress. Then glue gun one ribbon curl at a time starting from the bottom of the star and glue gun 3-5 points diagonal down to the bottom of the dress. This way your shooting star stays in place!

//  7  \\

Repeat step 6 for the rest of your curl ribbons until you it looks like the following above. 

We’ve had such an amazing amount of positive feedback from our Halloween costume – cake pop series that we plan on doing it again next year! Thank you for all your support, encouragement, and kinds words on our series this past month, as Abby and I have really enjoyed playing dress-up all month long. : )

Now let me know below if you have any ideas for themes next year. And or if there is anything you would like to see in the future! 

We are celebrating Steve's Birthday this weekend and finishing up our own Halloween costumes!  So I'm really excited to share what we'll be on here soon!!!

Also, did you catch our spooky treat video on instagram yesterday? Go check it out! And I hope you all you have a wonderful weekend!!

Warmly, Steph

Fall Bucket List

( Toddler Friendly )

Inspiration // Costco Story

After flashing my Costco card to one of the employees, with Abby half way on my hip, I then quickly stepped aside to stop and let her down a few feet from the entrance.

While shuffling my fingers around in the diaper bag to put my Costco card away, I suddenly felt Abby's tiny little fingers squeeze my jeans. And that’s when I heard it, mechanical scream. Then I saw it: a large, dark, and flashing monster, bobbing forward and back at us.

So. Much. Joy

Safe to say, Abby and I exchanged a lot of hugs, and I heard about that monster "being so scary" for weeks on end. (This was mid-September) so you can see why it surprised us both!

That Costco mechanical monster will forever be the "monster who can’t come get us,” because that's exactly what I told Abby to help her understand that it can’t get out of it’s base. 

Which is why after our little monster moment, I was immediately inspired to create a list of age appropriate ideas in which we can celebrate the fall season (especially Halloween) with our little one’s! 

So I'm so excited to share with all of you below, our Toddler Friendly Fall Bucket List! No scary monsters with flashing lights (I promise), you can get that experience at Costco : )

And now, here are a few photos of the beautiful PNW fall from our pumpkin patch visit last weekend, as promised!!

I hope our Toddler Friendly Fall Bucket list helps spark a light of imagination for your own fall season!
