Happy Halloween!
October 31st, 2007
I almost didn’t make Halloween costumes this year. I woke up this morning, knowing that I still hadn’t even started on them, and instead pulled weeds in our front flower bed (which will be a vegetable bed next spring). But at 10am (that’s nap-time around here) I decided that maybe I really should try to make something for Olga, at least. So after about six hours of feverish sewing, snipping, and creative license, I turned a rather ordinary pattern for pajamas into these:

Oh, and by the way… What do dinosaurs eat?

Candy, of course!

A few more pictures of the costumes to follow. I need a chance to recover from the sugar rush first.
How adoreable! They are so sweet. Your sewing skills are amazing! I am a sewer, for quite a few years now and I am nowhere near you. I wanted to thank you and your husband for serving(I read through your blog since discovering it), and I know you are not the service member, but he could not do his job effectively without you. I know because I have been on both sides, I was Active Duty AF during the first Gulf War and then I became a dependant when our daughter was born 15 years ago. People don’t realize that sometimes it’s harder to be the dependant. God bless you both!
