Overdue Post

Here is a picture from Halloween- I know, over a month ago. I don't think I'm alone here- everyone I talk to agrees with me. They LOVE checking other peoples blogs, but HATE having to post on their own. I am absolutely forcing myself to put a new post up tonight because it's been a really long time.
So Andy was Batman for Halloween. Please excuse the poor excuse for a batsuit. I felt somehow it was my motherly duty to make his costume instead of buying it. So I did... and the results were less than spectacular. But he loved it and that's all that mattered. Never mind that I saw a batsuit at Target the day before Halloween for only $10 - it's the principle of it. I guess.
Daisy was a giraffe (Andy's old costume). I guess I needed to dress her up as a princess because everyone was calling her a boy. At the town Halloween party we went to a lady even told me Daisy was sure to be a 'lady-killer' when he grew up.
The kids had a fun time. Andy was really looking forward to having trick-or-treaters come to our door, but we only had two. It was a cold night. So this is a pretty bad picture of the kids, but somehow it's the only one I got. I'm really bad about remembering the camera.
The other pictures are just random - Andy with his buddy Xander, and Daisy eating a snack, looking cute.
My sister and her family made it up to Alaska. We are really happy to have them here! The kids have been having a blast - sledding, making gingerbread houses, and playing with all of each other's toys.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

I love to post even more than looking at other people's. I think the batman costume is darling, you did a great job! Maybe I should have tried to make my kids costumes, I think I spent $100 between the two of them-oops. Im glad you posted pictures thanks :)

Daisy really is quite the lady killer. Better watch it.

Nice costume. I also feel somehow obliged to make instead of buy, and I don't quite know why.
