The Costume

October 24, 2010

It was such a beautiful day today, sunny and 71˚!  I took the girls to get pumpkins today.  We went to the pumpkin patch at the grocery store.  It was cheaper that way.  The pumpkins were only $3 each.  Way better than spending $15+ a pumpkin at a real pumpkin patch.  Then we went to Game Stop so I could get them their DS games that I owed them since July.  They can't complain.  They got their games.  Julia got a game for going on the Funnel of Fear water slide. (Which she ended up loving and riding three more times.)  Ariana got a game because how could I get Julia one and not get Ariana one?  Next we stopped at Michaels to buy the supplies for Ariana's Halloween costume.

Some people are very curious to see Ariana's costume this year.  A mom of one of Ariana's friends told me she can't wait to see what I make this year for Ariana's costume.  She always thinks they are so creative.  She also wondered how I came up with the ideas.  Well, I don't.  Ariana tells me what she wants to be and then I have to figure out how to make it.  lol.  The easiest was when she wanted to be a mailbox.  I was telling my neighbor Ariana wanted to be a mailbox for halloween and that I didn't know how I was going to make it.  Then he said he had a mailbox costume in his basement and asked if I wanted to borrow it.  Of course I wanted to borrow it!

Every year she comes up with the coolest ideas.  The only time she had a store bought costume was when she was JoJo from JoJo's Circus.  She wore that costume when she was 2 and 3.  Then when she was 4 she wanted to be a witch.  We used stuff we had around the house to make that one.  It was cute because all the other girls in her preschool class were princesses.  In Kindergarden she was a present.  1st grade she was a lollipop.  2nd grade she was a mailbox.  And in 3rd grade she is going to be......

You'll have to wait a few more days before I will tell.  lol.
