I can remember when a holiday was just that, one day of celebration.  Now that I have a child, a holiday turns into a week long event.  Not that I’m complaining:) For example, Halloween:

Tuesday was trick or treating.  Our town doesn’t do it on Halloween.  Weird I know, but it works for us.  This was followed by a parade on Thursday and more trick or treating on Sat.

Thursday we made Rice Crispy treats for the little one’s preschool party.  I wanted to do something a little crafty with her too.  The bat wrappers we made were inspired by a candy bar wrapper tutorial on Skip To My Lou.  This was a fun short craft that I’ll definitely do for other holidays.  Snowman, Easter Bunnies, you get the idea.

Lastly, on Halloween I got to see Phish in Atlantic City!  I was pretty thankful I took the little one trick or treating earlier that week so I could go guilt free.  The concert was incredible  and I had so much fun selling my Fishman Weezy Bands outside the venue.  I’m happy to say that my costume was almost all handmade.  I made the leg warmers and the skirt.  The super cute tail was made by Super Rad Cape Co. The gorgeous top (which I wish you could see better in this pic) was made by MarcellaModa.
