Sarah's Gone Batty!

Well, I am proud of myself! Sarah went back and forth this year on what to "be" for Halloween and finally settled on a "Graveyard Fairy" costume from Costume Express. I ordered it, and got a phone call a few days later informing me that it was on backorder. A few days after that, I got another phone call saying it wasn't shipping. What to do!?

At that news, Sarah decided she didn't want to trick or treat because her Dad wasn't going to be here. She has been dealing with Daddy being in Illinois extremely well for an eight year old, but every once in a while it peeks through and this was one of those times. We talked about it, and she finally decided she wanted to be a pillow. I thought, "I can make a pillow costume - how cool would that be?!" and I was going to be a blanket. JoAnn Fabrics was gonna love me!!!

Later, she decided that she wanted to be a bat, after purchasing "Fang" the black Halloween Webkinz bat. I thought, "I can make that!!" and voila, I did! I think it looks pretty awesome and you may or may not be able to see the little black ears she's wearing but I did those too and they look pretty awesome as well!

This picture was taken as she was getting leaving for the Brownie Halloween Party at the fire hall. It's got exactly the effect we were looking for and I can't wait to take another one -- this time from the front!

Happy Halloween!!!
