Well, with our crazy arrangement these days, nothing goes quite as smoothly as it used to. Jeremy has warned me to get it together. Apparently, being a single mom 4 days a week, resigning from my job, and going to school full time have made me a bit scattered. So, Halloween didn't go quite as beautifully as I had planned.We purchased Carson's Halloween costume, Spider Man, in early September, size 8. It fit fine, and he loved it, much to my disappointment, because I enjoy the creative side of costuming. But, under the circumstances this year, I didn't choose to fight that battle. Maisy wanted to be Cinderella and we purchased that early too. However, after reading Rapunzel for the 1,000,000 time, she decided she really wanted to be Rapunzel, the forgotten princess. So, happily I agreed to fix Cinderella into Rapunzel. We got a very long blond wig, some fancy shoes and stitched a little underlay into her Cinderella dress to make it more Renaissance looking.
Halloween night the kids got dressed to head over to Jeff and Nikki's to trick-or-treat. Remember we still live in the weeds! My Spider Man had grown since our last fitting and looked extremely tight in his costume, not to mention the 2 inches of leg sticking out between his costume and socks. Maisy looked the part for all of 2 houses, when she decided she hated her wig and her heels. I brought nothing to repair "wig hair" and no extra shoes. She went from princess to peasant in 5 minutes. She ended the night in my socks, with horrible hair, but happy as can be. It was so funny. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time.
Below are some photos before we left. Notice SpiderMan was squatting, due to his "high-water" leggings.
