Trick Or Treat

These are my crazy kids that are growing up way too fast. They had a lot of fun dressing up for Halloween and collecting tons of candy. So much sugar was consumed that Code Man was sick today and stayed home from school. Pathetic.

I'm Melting!

Shellbell and I made this witch costume today. She didn't want to model it on herself just yet. The striped stockings are my favorite part because it is a short dress and so the stockings cover up just the right amount of leg. (Amy told me to write that.) The total price of the outfit was around $20, the most expensive costume I've made in a long time. The hat and stockings were %60 off at JoAnn Fabrics. They had some good stuff this week.

Poodle Skirt

This is Mini Zo's Halloween costome this year. It is the easiest 30 minute costume. We even used the glue gun. The black neck scarf was $2 on clearance at Target. Total cost $13. The poodle was the big cost of $5.
This pattern is a hand me down from Nonna. The date on it is 1986. You gotta love that.

Music Man

This was the best shot I got of Shellbell in her green plaid jacket (that I made for Zoie bell) and navy shirt. She wasn't wearing her fabulous hat that Zoie bell made when she was in Music Man a few years ago.

Shellbell, Code Man, and Mini Zo were in the musical "Music Man" this past week and here are some of their costumes. Shellbell was the American Gothic Farmer's wife, Code Man was Withrop who talks with a lisp, and Mini Zo was in the band. Now think the minuet in G: Ladi dadi dadi dadi da, ladi da, ladi da.

Amaryllis

This is a costume for Music Man. Remember the little girl who takes piano lessons from Marion the Librarian? Her name is Amarillys and she is in love with Winthrop who has a lisp (played by my fabulous son, Code Man). All three of my kids are in the play this summer and it has been a lot of fun. There will be more costumes to come.
