Last night I reflected back on all my past Halloweens. It isn't my favorite holiday. But mostly because I knock myself out every year and make it way harder than it needs to be. My kids will say to me "I want to be a fairy" and instead of running down to the costume store and purchasing a fairy costume, I create a fairy. I spend double the money and stress for weeks. And by the time Halloween comes, I am exhausted. I have created a Scarecrow, a Cat, a Football player, various "undead things", Santa's helper and the list goes on and on.
I think there have been around 50 costumes over the years combined.
This year, I am not at my physical best. But thankfully my little darlings have chosen easy to put together costumes and were a ton of help. So far it is going splendidly.
One day down, one to go.
For this year that is.............
Sissy at the School ParadeCostume tomorrow.... if all goes well. She might not be that thrilled to wear it.
Cross your fingers.

A little LadyBug
Allison
She wanted to be a "bloody cowboy"
Do cowboys bleed very often? I'm not sure about that.
But after much talking and persuasion, and I may have yelled a little in frustration... I talked her into being a cute cowboy/Woody (sortof)
YEEEEE HAWWWWW
Bees just don't get any cuter than this

Soooo Cute!! I LOVE every one! You are a wonderful mother and I would like to say that someday your children will appreciate all of your hard work...but the truth is, they probably won't. I don't think Kori really remembers/appreciates that robot costume at all!
