Oh Halloween! I don't know whether to love it or hate it. I love the holidays, but it just seems like by the time we go to the pumpkin patch, pick out costumes(which is such the ordeal for my kids), have class parties, and the trunk or treat, and then finally! Halloween night where I am scrambling to carve pumpkins, I am not likin' Halloween much. My children usally like to be something I have to end up making. So, this year I was way ahead of the game and talked the girls into being princess that I found at Costco and then they found a dragon costume for Benny. But, Marin of course decided she wanted to be Barbie Island Princess and sugjested that "all I had to do was to make a peacock feathers for the back of her dress". So this year I still didn't get out of getting the sewing machine out. I did let Marin know that I was lucky I had the spirit of my Grandma Mary in me to make them what they wanted be. I hope she inherits this, because I told her when her daughter wants to be Flitter Flutter Butterfly Barbie I do expect her to rip out the sewing machine.
Samantha on the other had loved her Aurora costume and kept singing everytime she put it on, "bow to the princess Aurora." After a few days of that Marin turn around and yelled, "I am not bowing any more to you Sam."
All in all, I do love Halloween, it is so much fun for the kids and I do enjoy their excitment, but I am happy to be moving on the Thanksgiving this year!

I am so impressed you made the peacock feathers. Your story about bowing to princess Aurora made me LOL. :)
I understand the love/hate relationship with Hallowee. I say I hate it but then my kids dress up and get SO excited. And then I love it!(or like it at least)
Oh Ashlee! In response to the comment you left me regarding that song...I laughed so HARD! I remember that moment well. I especially remember a few weeks after I told you I liked that song, you said that it would always remind you of me! Haha, what a way to be remembered! Even if it is a little true...;o)
Your kids look so cute in thier costumes. I am impressed that you made the island princess one. I, for one, hate Halloween, but perhaps that is because I am what she says in that song...LoL!
cute! You're very creative, msking the peacock feathers!
Ashlee!!! I hope you don't mind, but I found you on Stacy's blog! You have such a cute family! The last time I saw you, Marin was so much younger and you had just found out you were pregnant with your second. I cannot beleive how fast time flies!
Truthfully I don't love Halloween. It requires a lot of mommy work! I'm so proud of you for making Marin's costume at the 11th hour - Grandma Mary must be proud! Email me and tell me where you got your bed frame and bedding - love it! Can I copy you? No one will know especially since we live 2000 miles apart!
