Yes, we dressed up today. Mason was Batman, Abbie was a peacock and Hannah Kate was a pink flamingo.
Batman was the superhero of choice this year. And Hannah Kate wanted to be a pink flamingo. She has always LOVED pink flamingoes. And this year there was a pink flamingo costume in the Pottery Barn catalog. She really wanted it, but I really didn't want to pay for it. So I decided I could make her a pink flamingo costume. In a way it turned out like I'd envisioned. In a way it did not! But she was thrilled with it. You just have to use your imagination, I guess. I'm really no good at this kind of stuff. She already had the pink shirt and pink leggings. I made the tutu with a little help from my friend who came and rescued me last night. I've been trying to grow crystals for a science fair project and write a speech and campaign posters for a social studies project (for my 2nd grader!) so working on this pink flamingo costume wasn't exactly a priority! And then we pinned some feathers in her hair. She was thrilled! And I was, too, because this was a lot cheaper than the Pottery Barn costume!
Here is Mason and his friend Cole.
And here's our cute little Indian! Connor just melted my heart tonight. I miss him so much! He has grown into quite the little man. He calls me Nanny Jew-ee, and I just love it! I can't believe it's been seven months since he left us to start "school." I can't believe he stayed with us for two years and is now two and a half years old!
Ellie stayed with MawMaw while we went to Boo on the Bayou. The local businesses hand out candy to all of the kids. Afterwards we went on a hayride with Cole and Connor and their family and ate hotdogs. Mason and Hannah Kate had a blast . . . they are so innocent and just love that there is a day set aside to dress up. So that's what we did today. We dressed up.
