Hey! Guess what the most overrated Halloween activity is, according to my three year old? You guessed it...carving pumpkins. But bedazzling a pumpkin for a baby sister? Best. craft. ever. (Next year we'll explore no-carve options like these. )
This year, the boy settled on his firefighter costume by mom's deadline (Oct. 1), which gave us plenty of time to work on the baby's dalmation costume--since we prefer themed costumes whenever possible (read: for one more year, before she develops her own opinions). Thanks to etsy, I only had to make her sleeper (black felt + glue gun), and attach her ears to a headband or hat--one for inside, one for outside.
A last minute RSVP to a party meant we would need grownup costumes, too. One trip to the Halloween Express, two trips to Michaels, one trip to Target, and 15 yards of tulle later, we added a fire chief and...FIRE!....to our costumed crew.

few thoughts. She looks better in the hat than he; must be the need for cheeks. Two, I love your writing. Keep it up...
one year I'm going to come over and be part of your theme; there's a distinct lack of candy and childish joy around here...
Kage Halloween Stamp of Approval.
Love your fire makeup
