Halloween



It seems like everything just crept up so fast. Drew's birthday, soccer and then Halloween. I had HUGE determination to make Drew's costume this year. Growing up Halloween was a favorite because my mom always made us the best costumes. I've really let that slip with Peyton and now he's only into "scary" costumes so I thought I could make Drew into the cutest lady bug. I bought all of the thread, material, elastic, blew the dust off the sewing machine only to have it jam, clear the jam, jam again then me saying some not so nice things and putting it away. It turns out I didn't inherit my moms talent of sewing. Bummer. The day before Halloween I was at the store buying her a ladybug outfit completely deflated. I guess there's always next year. We did have a blast as usual and already have our costumes planned for next year. It's been a tradition that the parents dress up with the kids which makes for a fun filled evening. I'm a little bummed because I don't have a good picture, but in case you can't tell Mark was the "Shower" from the Karate Kid movie. Yes, Danny Larusso dressed up as a shower to disguise himself from bullys. Each year he cracks me up with he wants to be. Last year the Keg, this year a Shower.....the anticipation is building for next year. I can feel it :)
