Happy Halloween!!

 We had a great Halloween.  Hope yours was great too.

  

Twins - Five Years Apart

It has been so fun to have both of my girls born at the same time of year.  The clothing has worked out so well!  The sizes and seasons are matching up perfectly.  As some of you may know - I had been waiting 5 years to use the nun Halloween costume again.  Here is a look at both Julie and Ruthie at this time of year. And just so he's not left out, I'll throw in a picture of William too!

He Can Fly, He Can Fly, He can Fly!

I spent most of the morning finishing William's Peter Pan costume.  The hat was harder to make than I  had anticipated...  It is sort of like a crooked ice cream cone.  No sewing, just hot glue. Not quite sure how to make a Peter Pan hat, I looked on the internet for a pattern but everything was too complicated to understand so I just decided to wing it.  Not too bad for $0.50 worth of felt.

We painted his dagger together this morning.  Then I asked him if he wanted to try on the rest of his costume.

"No, I want to watch the paint dry."

If only we all had that much time (and patience) to take joy in watching paint dry.

 Tomorrow is our church Halloween party.  Now to just get everyone else's costumes done in time...  More pictures to come!

By the way, I made the entire costume without getting out my sewing machine!!  All hot glue, baby!  I even have a great burn on one finger to prove it! 

Happy Halloween.

Can't Decide! Halloween Preview

Halloween is approaching and I can't decide which costume to use for Ruthie...

A cute (and a little bit scary) mouse...

A chubby Jack-o-lantern...

Or an angelic nun... (I've been waiting 5 years to reuse this costume!!)
