Happy Halloween!

      This year was Charlotte's first Halloween, although she was too little to trick or treat and it rained anyway we still put on her costume and took pictures :)

    I love a homemade costume, sort of a necessity turned tradition in our family. I was talking to Mama about some of the costumes she made for Sister and I the other day; angles, Lisa and Maggie Simpson (which Tony realllllly wants to do next year), a gypsy, a cow, a bunny etc. I remember loving that Mama could make our costumes - what couldnt that woman do!- and as I got older helping put them together, I hope Charlotte has and cherishes those memories too one day.

  Thats why this year I made a pink poodle costume for her to wear, it was super simple to make and turned out precious if I do say so myself!

   She wore a pink fleece sleeper, I made a tutu for her ankles, wrist and waist from tulle and rubberbands, I cut some fabric in the shape of ears, hot glued to a headband and a little eyeliner for a nose and she was complete.

     Goodness gracious that child is precious! :)

     We also carved a pumpkin of course.......

   All in all a total Halloween success!


We leave for our trip to Charleston, South Carolina tomorrow! I am very happy to have Tony accompany us on this flight (although she was great last time), we have a layover and its a longer flight. Ill post all of our low country adventures when we get back!
