Things I should have taken pictures of this past week, but failed to because sinusitis grabbed hold of my brain and gave it a good shake:
Adam as "Green Goo Guy" (a made-up costume for Halloween)
He took some scissors to his the front of his cape before I was finished sewing it. His cape was basically his costume since we didn't really have a character to base this costume on. Yeah. I'm pleased with the finished product ... after I figured out how to make it work.
Eliza making her tutu
Eliza chose to wear a poodle skirt for Halloween. I failed to get the poodle on her skirt because, of course, I procrastinated until the day before the trunk-or-treat to make her skirt. Also, another reason she didn't have a petticoat. So, she made herself a tutu following this tutorial. Turned out super cute.
Kate's fake vampire teeth
They glow in the dark. Oh, and they are too big for her mouth. So she used costume makeup and "painted" on some fangs. The best part was that all I had to do for her costume was her cape.
IndiAndrew Jones
He had a satchel and a whip and a hat. I even put bronzer on his cheeks and chin for his 5 o'clock shadow. Oh, and the whip .... it came out for Halloween, and was put away the next day. He hasn't had it since. Probably not the best idea for a little boy with a temper.
My new curtains
Now that we have finally finished painting our main floor, Jon took some time to hang the curtains we bought back in May. They look awesome! And, it's the first time I feel really pleased with what we've done.
Maryanne's teeth
She has a total of five teeth now. They are not pleasant at all! She doesn't bite me when she nurses anymore, but she bites anything that is made of fabric. Kind of strange/cute. She has two minky blankets that she adores and whenever I get her out of her crib, she inevitably pulls one of those out with her using her teeth. And, sometimes when we are wrestling, she will hunker down on my shoulder and pull my shirt away in her mouth. She's even left marks in my skin. Yeah, I think she likes those things.
My Halloween party
My friend and I hosted a Halloween party. It was a blast. We had around 14 couples there. And the costumes were great! Jon and I were M&Ms ... that's what we were 9 years ago. I did have a small red M for Maryanne somewhere that Eliza wore for her first Halloween, but I couldn't find it.
However, I have no pictures of the above. Oh well, at least I have the mental ones. Just wish they were as permanent.
