….

This has been the year of the years I have been waiting for so long – we were finally able to pull of the Addams Family family costume. Everyone has been a character from the strangest family on the planet. We even had little Victoria turn into Pubert, the baby which appeared in the second movie. She looked almost identical, it was the funniest thing. The two older girls dressed up as Wednesday and Pugsley and my husband and I of course as Gomez and Morticia. We even had Thing lend us a hand. 😉

Where I got everything for the Addams Family costumes

To be honest, family costumes can get quite expensive when you have to dress five people and while I like to spend money on clothes I am not the fondest of spending so much on things we probably wear once or twice in our life.

Most of the pieces are from Ali Express but I am sure you can get everything on amazon as well if you don´t have the time to wait about two weeks for your package. These are the pics I have taken as 

Thing 

Available here on amazon

Gomez Addams Costume

Available here at AliExpress

 

Morticia Addams Costume and Wig

In fact you only need the long black hair and the dramatic tight dress with the long sleeves. Do not forget about the signature Red nails and lips.

Available here at AliExpress

 

Wednesday Addams Costume and Wig

 

Wednesdas Addams dress available on amazon / shop the wig here

The Wednesday costume we have is from a German discount store. I have ordered it online. In fact you would only need a black dress with the significant white collar and cuffs to achieve her  look. The wig is from amazon.

 

Pugsley and Pubert Addams 

I did not buy anything for these two cause can easily be recreated by you childs closet. I had a striped shirt and bike shorts (she refused to only wear bike shorts cause it was cold so we added black tights) and for the little pubert all gray and black things have been essentiel. The cute cardigan with spider print would have been so cool but to be honest it would have been a waste of money cause babies grow so quick and we head into Christmas season right after Halloween so it wouldn´t be worn anymore.

A not so Spooky One First Birthday Party…

….

My last baby turned 1 last week!! I am still in disbelief she is not a baby anymore but a toddler. Since she is this close to Halloween it definitely had to have a similar theme. I have found so many cute pink things so I went with lots of ghosts and the Spooky One birthday theme.

This might have been my favorite birthday theme yet, but I guess I say that after every party !!! The three main stores I have gotten my decorations has been amazon, TK Maxx and Temu. If you just write spooky one birthday party into the search bar there will pop up hundreds of very cute things. Since I have gotten so much blush pumpkins I went with a black, blush and white color theme with some pops of orange but a purple color theme would have super cute as well.

Spooky One Birthday Party Decoration

The Decor

 

The Coffee Table

I just love a theme on a table no matter if it is lunch, dinner or coffee. The table runner and the sequin table cloth matched the birthday theme perfectly. I had pumpkin and ghost decor that looked great toghether and the napkins tied everything together.

 

The Cake

Now let´s talk about this masterpiece. To be honest I thought this was his best work yet (but I think I am saying this everytime) with all the little details like the ghosts, pumpkins and the most adorable ghosts with eyelashes and glitter blush cheeks.

The flavor has been nougat – vanilla and it was do die for. So moist and delicious but not too sweet at all.

Now on to the cupcakes – stunning as they come. All the little details are so magnificent I still can´t believe we ate them all. The flavor of the buttercream was cassis and the the cake itself tasted like a piece of dark chocolate. Maybe flavors the grown-ups appreciate a little bit more than the kids. 

The little witch hats and the bat / ghost sprinkles rounded up the whole Spooky One theme.

 

The First Birthday Specials

It was the first time I have completed the monthly photoshoot. I have 12 pictures including a newborn pic. It took me 3 kids and my panic that I will never get the chance to do this that kept me going and I was super happy I did. It´s just the cutest thing so see how she has changed a little every month. 

I also had a little smash cake and the high chair decorations but she refused to touch the cake. She looked at us unwilling to believe that we would allow her to just dive into the cake with her bare hands.

Fall Flower Dress and a cute and cozy Fringe Cardigan….

….

As we are entering the cooler temps of October (we had a pretty mild start the first two weeks with 20 degrees during the day) it gets a bit trickier to wear dresses without feeling cold but to be honest I am up for the challenge cause I still am not a huge fan of pants (at least not until I have lost the last pounds of baby weight).

Tights are a huge part of wearing dresses and skirts in German Fall and Winter seasons cause it will get quite cold so I´d say go and find a pair you really like and get a couple of them cause you will need them. My favorite pair of black tights (my most used color) is a 40 den opaque sheer black tight. And I always size up a size cause I can not stand a too tight pair of tights and also hate if they are too short and you feel like loosing them while walking.

Another piece of clothing you will dearly need are boots. Doesn´t matter if you want to have riding boots, lug boots or western boots (I just wouldn´t go with Uggs, cause they will look very bulky with midi or maxi dresses).

And last but not least you can never go wrong with some sort of cozy jacket like a vest or a cardigan.

It is cold in the Winter where you live ?

We have now entered the most gorgeous period of Fall. The leaves have turned colors and are swirling through the air of lying on the ground ready to get thrown through the air. This is my favorite stage of Fall.

During this short period Fall´s most beautiful colors show up everywhere like a deep yellow, a burnt orange or a rich burgundy. I mean how gorgeous am I right?!
