Saturday before Halloween we carved our pumpkins and taste tested chili and cornbread for the ward chili cook off and costume parade. We had an awesome time drinking cider and talking with friends. The kids had fun with their friends Steph and Chris in the parade and running around on the stage. Oliver wore the Knight costume I made for him this year, Nabby was a butterfly princess (in her own words), I had rubber mice in my hair (stuck with bobby pins in them) and Jas had an old shirt with plastic spiders glued on the back of it. Brother Magleby (Dean at BYU) is in our ward this year on sabbatical and his wife told Jason 3 times how much she liked his spider shirt. It was a creepy shirt.
That knight costume is so cute I can’t handle it! He looks just like a little Peter from Lion, Witch, and Wardrobe! Can I hire you to make costumes for my (not yet in existence) children?
Thanks Moles! Sure I’ll make costumes for you! They may not be completely sewn together, but rather hot glued in places (just so you know what your getting). The “chain mail” material has glue holding on all the reflective squares. I tried sewing the sleeves, but gummed up 4 needles (covered with glue so they wouldn’t let the thread through) with in 3 inches. Maddening. I was only too happy to pull out the glue gun and finish the sleeves and hood with it. Thanks again for the compliment!
The bravest Knight and the most beautiful Butterfly Princess! These help me remember fun times from my past-20 years past!
