And last but not least…Joy and Disgust! Things have been pretty busy this Halloween weekend, so I will leave you with these shots of our costumes and you can probably tell who I will be and who my hubby will be.
Happy Halloween everyone and thanks for following our Inside Out costume series!

This is Fear! My other twin baby boy will be Fear. He is not really scared all of the time, but he does have a very sweet and sad worried face.
His beanie was a little more complicated as it had the standard rounded top, so I enlisted the help of my BFF and seamstress, Lauren. Fear has one curlycue hair on top of his head. This super fat purple pipe cleaner did the trick. (I have never had to write out “curlycue” before and I am not even sure if that is how you spell it! Someone please enlighten me.)
Fear also wears a bow tie and like the tie from Anger, I simply folded, glued and folded until I got the right shape.
A hounds tooth patterned vest completed the top, another Lauren addition. Since the fabric was not that stretchy, we overlapped the two sides of the vest and left it to glue shut at the last minute, giving my baby’s cute belly some room to grow and breathe. 🙂
Paired with some slacks and Fear is ready to go! 
As you can probably deduce by now, my husband and I will be Joy and Disgust and I will be sharing those tomorrow!

Next up is Anger! One of my twin boys will be Anger and he has the perfect mad face for it. 🙂 Since I didn’t want to use wigs on the babies, I decided to make them beanies instead. I have never made a beanie before but Anger has such a square face that a square beanie did not seem too complicated. I used stretchy red fleece and also picked up some stiff felt for the flames that would be on top of his head.
The hardest part was sewing the finished flames into the top of the beanie. The material was very thick especially layered on top of each other.
In the movie, Anger’s outfit is pretty simple. White top, slacks and a red tie, he is all business. I found the perfect red pattern for an almost vintage feel for the tie. I’d like to say I had a method for constructing it, but I basically started with a piece of fabric and just glued, folded, glued, folded, glued, until I got the shape that I wanted.
To make it comfy, the tie was fabric glued onto a long sleeved white onesie.
Baby khaki trousers completes the look.
Three more costumes to go. If you missed it, see the Sadness costume here!

If you haven’t guessed, our family costume this year is Inside Out. My daughter chose to be Sadness and the whole family jumped on board. Leave it to my daughter to pick the emotionally complex one and I was actually quite proud that she did!
Thankfully these costumes turned out to be quite simple. I found both the wig and the glasses from Amazon.
I knew that living in Southern California there was a good chance that it might be hot in Halloween. I asked my mom if she could crochet some wrist cuffs and just the neck part to give the allusion of a turtleneck sweater. 
I also found her blue top and pants from Amazon which is super helpful when I can’t always get out of the house.

Our kiddo turned 3 last month. How time flies! One of his favorite movies is the Pixar animated short, Lava, about a Hawaiian volcano looking for love. It was the perfect theme for a birthday party.
As the guests arrived, Lele, the volcano’s love greeted them with a lei. 
The paper umbrella wreath found a home on the front door with a pink ribbon.
The backyard was where most of the party would take place.
Simple colored glass vases doubled as centerpiece as well as holding down colorful napkins on the picnic table.
The same leis that greeted guests at the front door were strung together and hung under the pergola for some eye popping color. Fake, tropical leaves were stapled onto a rope and hung from the eaves of the house.
Paper lanterns and honeycombs were hung from the trees. Both the tropical leaves, lanterns and honeycombs were from previous events I had planned. Holding on to certain decorations can come in handy.
For the kiddies, there was a plastic pool with balls and another splash pool with water.
Uku’s Fishing Hole let them catch colorful fishes of their choice.
And a sandy treasure hunt let them dig for gold coins, jeweled rings and beaded necklaces.
Any gummy fan would have loved the favors: gummy fruits and ribbon skewers!
One of the best parts of the party was six layer rainbow and M&M cake grandma made.
Our kiddo had a blast!
