I'm really excited about the kids costumes, since I made them all. I had intended to make R's and mine as well but just didn't have time. D's costume is Clark Kent. It's fun for him because he is superman is desguise (sort of) and easy for me. Plus I didn't have to spend $30 on a cheap superman costume that so many other boys will be wearing and it will only last few times of him wearing it before the seams start to unravel. He will have a superman "suit" (t-shirt) under a white button-down and slacks so when he pulls his shirt open "BAM". It's a bird, it's a plane.... You get the idea.
E is going as Aurdry Hepburn a la Breakfast at Tiffany's. You know, classic little black dress with pearls and a tiara. Easy enough, except will. I made her a black tutu. She had been trying desperately to say "Audrey Hepburn." I showed her a picture so she sort of gets the look but still doesn't know who she is. Guess that's one perk of having kids that are still young enough to wear what I say. Ha. She is just excited to wear a tutu and tiara. I don't think she cares about anything else.
Little miss B is going as a scarecrow. I took a few ideas of tutu scarecrows from Pinterest and ran with it. I'm going to paint her face (as best I can, since I'm sure she will want to "help"). Her dress is a tutu made of autumn colors with a daisy (couldn't find a sunflower) and burlap straps. I think I'm most excited about hers. Oh, and I bought one of those tiny hats that are connect to a headband and well, let's just says the burlap and hot glue got the best of it. :) I hope I find time to take some really cute pictures of them and by just catch a few shots while they are running around loaded with sugar.
A few people have sent the kids Halloween cards. It means a lot to me, but for them it's so exciting every time. I'm glad that they find joy in something so simple.
Thank you....all of you. For loving my kids and being so good to them.
