It has been a VERY long time since I last posted. Lots going on in my life. I realized that this blog is a nice way to remember all the things that are are going on in my family's life... good, bad and ugly.  So for now something good, Halloween! The kids didn't really know what they wanted to be, i kept asking and asking. We usually order our costumes in September. Not this year. Miles suggested he and Maisy be Shark boy and Lava girl. Ok, I can do that, there must me costumes out there right? WRONG! I found a Sharkboy costume on Etsy for $125... REALLY? I realized I'd have to make the costumes. I searched and searched the internet for as many ideas as I could find. Lava girl was pretty easy, Shark boy not so much. I definitely had to use my imagination for his.
It took me about a week to finish the costumes and I actually really like how they came out. I knew I did good when Miles gave me a hug and said "Mom, thanks for making the best costume and treat bag ever!" That made it all worth it.
