Willyween 2025

Editor’s (that’s me) note* This is an old post from October that never published. But Willyween deserves a spot on the blog. I don’t know how to back date a post so here it is anyway. 

Twas a spooky Halloween for the Willies! 

Days before the ward party, I made Corbin’s costume and the rest came together easily. 

I borrowed a cow suit from Gina and puff painted the shirt for Soren’s Chick fil A cow.

I painted a t shirt for Sloane and stuffed the Pom Pom of a beanie into a cup for Sloane’s Swig drink costume. She wrote a cute sequined skirt from Walmart with it. 

Bear’s wig, bow tie, and mustache were from an Amazon kit, the apron was from Auntie HolleeAnn, and he wore a white church shirt, and Corbin’s old temple pants from when we were sealed to the twins. What a cute Colonel Sanders!

Corbin’s toga is just 1.5 yards of fabric from Walmart and some black puff paint. The greenery is from a bin in my parents attic, and the free pizza box was hot glued onto a paint roller handle. 

Esme was Wendy from Wendy’s. She wore a school uniform dress of Sloane’s, tights and arm warmers from our where’s Waldo costumes. The wig and apron were from Amazon. 

Last minute, I found Ronald McDonald costumes on marketplace for Aaron and picked them up in case I couldn’t find a cow costume in time for Soren. But we got one so I added us to the bunch. Aaron is a good sport. 

I look stupid enough in that wig to confidently say I’m a  even better sport. 

Quincy wore blue face makeup, a blue shirt, and a blonde wig as Violet for one costume party, and joined the roommates in their big group of dress singers as Britney Spears. She was the OG Baby One Time Britney. Others went as Oops I did it again Britney, Slave for You Britney, and Circus Britney. Oh boy! I teased that I guess as long as none of them went as 2007 shaved head assault-the-paparazzi-with-an-umbrella/DCFS case Britney or 15 years of lockdown Free Britney Movement Britney they’re all good. Those are even more scary 😂 Here’s a FaceTime screen shot I got of her with Allie (as Ke$ha). These two are such a vibe and bring life of the party energy everywhere they go.
