Despite my best efforts to convince Katie to be Cruella I have failed. For most of the month of September I tried to convince her how cool it would be for her to be Cruella and Joey to be a Dalmation. I could just see that big fur coat, black and white hair and of course her awesome imitation of Cruella. Trust me, it would have been awesome! Instead she wanted to be a princess. I really couldn't handle a princess Halloween. I told her she dresses up as a princess everyday. Why don't we try something new. So there I was trying to come up with something great, but that would also coordinate with her young brother. I know, I'm cheesy like that. I secretly can't wait for the day we when can be the Incredibles!
Well, for some reason she decided Little Red was the way to go. She has been the most excited about carrying around a basket full of muffins to hand out to people. So here we are as Little Red Riding Hood and the Big Bad Wolf/Bear.
In all honesty I do love making Halloween costumes. I think it is so fun to have something unique. No double duty at the preschool show, church etc. etc. But, after making Katie's costume I was burned out. Sewing with two small children really is a task. So poor Joey is Katie's old bear costume and we call it a "wolf." I must admit he looks stinkin' cute in it. Plus, its warm. So here's the terrible two-some for some Halloween pictures!

You sew too? You are starting to make the rest of us look bad! However, strong work. Katie's costume is adorable!!
Wow, I had so much to catch up on! First of all, good job on little Maddy and Dawson's pictures! They turned out fantastic! Isn't she just a little doll?! Also, poor little Joey's hand! I think I would have been freaking out with the swollen arm, but you handled it like a champ. I'll have to remember after bite. And can you get any cuter with the halloween costumes?! I love the red riding hood idea! We used to go to Gardner Village every year too, we loved it! Maybe we can carry that tradition on with you guys when we move back someday!
Where on earth do you live? It's gorgeous! It looks like you actually live in the time of Little Red. A little different than my stucco world in the desert.
