I am a little behind on my Halloween post. We had a crazy/interesting night. My little Izzy went as a Scarecrow and I went as a crow. Although I didnt get a picture of my costume due to the fact that is was raining horrible that night and my makeup got messed up. We also hydroplaned in the rain and hit a fire hydrant so I had to be out in the rain talking to the police and looking at the damage to my car. Luckily we are fine and didnt get hurt. So now I am going throught the lovely insurance process for getting my car repaired, which could take 2 weeks to get it back. But once its all over with ill be relieved.
Anyways.......Izzy's costume was easy to put together and I am determined to start making hers myself. Luckily, I didnt have to sew anything this year on her costume, especially since I am still trying to figure out my sewing machine that I bought a year ago. Izzy's costume was just a matter of buying the clothes and dressing her. Her denim jumper and plaid flannel button down here from Osh-Kosh. I found some corduroy leggings and used her moccasins that have been my favorites for a year now. Unfortunatly, she is starting to grow out of them and I have my eye on a new pink pair. I used some rafia to make a belt around her jumper, the I tied some around rubbber band to put around her ankles and tucked the band in her shoes to the rafia was showing like straw. The rafia was a easier to tie and was softer than regular straw. She kept them on the whole time too, which I was surprised. But I was more surprised that she left the paint on her nose and face. She kept calling it, "mommies pretties, " mostly because she watched me paint the feathers on my face for my crow costume.
Overall, we had a good Halloween and Izzy was happy because she got a few suckers and Smarties. I have already been thinking about next years costumes.
