Well, we finished the costumes. They were a big hit. Everyone kept on saying how cute Aurora looked. Of course we get it a lot normally. She is a very cute baby! Will's giant Wii-mote got the most attention of all! It came out great! I'm planning a photo shoot four the three of us soon. I'll be posing the Spooktacular pictures this week as well.

The lack of sleep finally hit me today. I got sick last night and I've been under the weather all day. I'm feeling a bit better this evening but I could use some more rest.

Pins and Needles

For the past few weeks I have been working on the family's Halloween costumes. It's been one of the biggest challenges to date. I'm not one for diving in without at least a modified tissue pattern on hand. So when I noticed that I had to free hand all 3 costumes in order to get the look I wanted, I was filled with fear.

Strangely enough it seemed to be coming along ok. I'm trying to finish Aurora's by the 25th at least. There a children's Halloween carnival I want to take her to. I think I can make it in time.

Miscommucation

She sees the jar of Baby Rub on the shelf and points.
"Tha!"
I reach up and hand it to her. Then ask,
"Do you know what that's for?"
She walks right to the door of her room, taps on it with her little finger and says,
"Ta thre."
I burst out laughing.

Back to basics.

I realized that I haven't really played with Blogger in a while. I finally updated my layout. I know it's ugly. One I get a handle on the new system (or old rather) I'll make it look better. For now enjoy one of the cookie cutter layouts.
