Halloween

Halloween really is so fun, isn't it? The getting ready for it this year was busy. Matthew, our dinosaur fanatic, of course wanted to be a dinosaur. I looked EVERYWHERE for one in his size, but the biggest I could find was a 4T. I tried to talk him into many other options, but he wouldn't budge. I found a penguin pattern that I sewed into a dinosaur over the course of two nights (really-all night). I haven't sewn anything for about 4 years, and am very much a beginner. I bet Matthew had 15-20 safety pins holding that thing together as he trick or treated.

So...Michael was an army man, Meg, an angel, Jon was Zorro, Rachel was flower only long enough to take a picture. She couldn't stand the costume on. And then Cinderella and T-Rex. They were so excited.
