Tomorrow is destined to be a day of pure sewing. Yes... sewing! I LOVE to sew and am really excited about the little chore I have before me. Donnelly wants to be Dorothy for Halloween. She has never seen the Wizard of Oz and only really wants to be Dorothy because I left the sewing pattern laying around for a little one to find...
What can I say, I love themes! Halloween has never been a big deal for our family. We always made our Halloween costumes when I was a kid and I've always just thrown something together for Ben. Until the twins came along that is. The twins came along the day before Halloween so the holiday has taken on a new meaning for our family. It is just an extension of their birthday! And who doesn't want to dress up and be goofy for a party!?! I still don't go crazy but I like the kids to be... themed. The twins first Halloween was spent in the NICU but the wonderful nurses dressed each baby up in a funny little costume and hat (Liam was a cheetah and Donnelly was a snow leopard of some sort). Our first real Halloween as a family was "Peter Pam". Ben was Captain Hook, Liam was Peter Pan and Donnelly was Tinkerbell. The twins second birthday was fun and low key. Ben was Boba Fett and Liam was Yoda (Star Wars anyone!). When Donnelly turned two she started tooting her own horn. She went as Zoe from Sesame Street, not as Princess Leah as I would have liked. But that's OK. They were all adorable.
This year I was able to get all three kids on board with the Wizard of Oz theme. Donnelly is Doorthy, of course and I gave Ben the choice of any character from the movie. He chose the tin man mostly because he looks like a robot! I decided to do Liam as the scarecrow even though he should really go as one of these little fellows...
Seriously! That's what he looks like!
I'm so excited to get sewing. There's a lot of work to be done... I'd better get started!
