It’s football season and every Sunday we gather together as a family and watch a game. We always hope that our favorite team is playing but that doesn’t always happen. With Halloween coming up my daughter had mentioned that she wanted to be a Buffalo Bills Football Player.

I was a little in shock as that’s not really a girly thing and not something you would easily find in the store. We did find the perfect costume on Franklin Sports, and my daughter loved the uniform.

The Deluxe Buffalo Bills uniform and helmet set comes with the full uniform. Pants a jersey and helmet with chin strap. It even comes with iron on numbers, so you can choose your own number.

I am not a baker or a good cook by any means, but when it comes to trying to make fun things with my kids I am all for it. We decided to make some fun Halloween inspired goodies using Sour Jacks candy.

They have 4 fun varieties in their Sour Jacks line, Watermelon, Wildberry, Lemonade and Green Apple.

Again please realize I am not a foodie, these were just fun projects for my kids and I.

First we decided to do just a plain chocolate chip cookie with fun halloween color chips with a Sour Jack on top. The most simple but fun recipe.

Next we made a batch of brownies and some chocolate pudding. We took brownie and covered it in pudding, put some fun candy eyes on. Then we took Green Apple Sour Jack and cut it in half for the fangs. You have a cute Vampire pudding brownie.

We also made a healthy snack, and I will actually be making a lot of these for Halloween meals. They are so sweet and fun. Everyone makes cute little pumpkins with Mandarin oranges and celery. I switched out the celery for half a Green Apple Sour Jack, and it still looks perfect.

Halloween is a little over a month away and my kids are so excited they are already picking out their costumes. They have picked out a Fireman, football player and a Steampunk.

New for Halloween 2015 is the Steampunk costume for girls. The costume features a dress which is different shades of brown, and is covered in velvety material on the sides and on top, extending into a high collar with a ruffled neckline. A striped panel with three buckle adornments is in the center of the torso. The reddish brown skirt has a white band along the hem with an attached black petticoat underneath. Two belts, similar to those on the top, dangle from the waistline of the dress over the skirt.
Costume also includes matching glovettes and a matching hat with goggles, to give the costume the perfect touch.

My daughter fell in love with this dress, she wanted to be a mad scientist but we couldn’t find anything girly enough and this costume is perfect. It has the scientist look but with a victorian feel and beautiful. She said she feels like the Mad Hatter, a princess and scientist all wrapped into one in this costume.

In case you are wondering what exactly a Steampunk is, it’s a genre of science fiction that typically features steam-powered machinery rather than advanced technology. It also can refer to a Victorian style era.

This costume also comes in various styles for woman in addition to the girls costume.

I have 2 daughters and a son, my daughters love to play dress up and my son is kind of left out. He is more about playing the cop or Fireman hero type. So I finally got him a Fireman Costume to play in and he loves it.

This inspirational Firefighters Child Ensemble consists of the following pieces: fireman’s jacket with reflective striping and metal clasps, cargo styled pants, chief’s badge and a fireman’s helmet.

The outfit was so cute on him and he didn’t want to take it off at all.

The complete outfit just comes so well together. The pants are actually overalls or suspenders like a real firefighter, so you don’t have to worry about him pulling up his pants often or being to big. The jacket can open and can velcro with latches. To complete the look their is a fireman’s helmet with badge in the front.

The jacket has thumb holes to keep the sleeves snug. I love the reflectors on the pants and jacket, it’s great for play or trick or treating at night.
