Halloween Prep
I love Halloween more than all the other holidays combined. I've known what Pixie was going to be since last year when I saw how good she looked in her red knit hat. Care to guess what she's dressing as?
Here are the items I've pulled together on eBay to complete "the look":
Flannel shirt and thermal undershirt
Yellow Suspenders
Woodsey Boots
Blue Cow (I'm going to lose the lame bow and add a big nose ring and red bandana)
Throw in some jeans, a red knit hat, a homemade woodsman's axe and draw on a big black beard and I think we've got a believable costume. Only 41 days left until Halloween! What are you going to be?
p.s. blogger stinks - sorry, I couldn't upload a picture today :(

Lady Steed's also. I've never been that impressed with any holiday to be honest.
And regarding your last post, I blame my inadequate internet situation.
I'm impressed you already have Penny's costume all figured out...I am 2 for 6 right now and not moving forward at all.
Kristine - dressing one kid is easy. Dressing six? Let's just say in my family as the 6th child I was the ghost every year until I could make my own costume as a teenager. Nothing easier than a sheet! Good luck. You could always have them be a family of gondaliers with those cute striped pj tops!

Speaking of halloween, do you have a Target near by? Because OUR Target has gone all kookoo-go-nuts over Halloween. There are FIVE WHOLE AISLES of talking skeletons, talking gravestones, gargoyles, haunted paintings, fake coffins, fog machines... FOG MACHINES. I think I need a $20 fog machine, I think YOU need a $20 fog machine... I think everybody I know is getting a $20 fog machine as a gift!
I wonder if it's all Target stores or our local buyer just has it bad for the spookies...
You are totally right, it is a bit more intimidating to get six ready. I'm pretty proud to even have 2 ready, and we've got a pretty good dress-up trunk to choose from...so we'll be deciding on the others before too much longer. They know if they want new costumes that they have to pay half, and no one seemed really excited about that after looking at the costumes at the local Wal-Mart here.
lily: a flower fairy thanks to her gymboree "tulip petals" dress and hat with little petals that stick up around her face.
ethan: Bob the builder with authentic costume not K-mart silky suit garbage kind.
kendall: an australian outback man using cannon's souvenir's from australia and his alligator head from lousiana. we almost decided not to do this one when our good friend steve irwin died this year, but we are going to go ahead and do it as a "tribute."
chelsea: an egyptian princess using the dress up stuff we brought back from egypt.
