I'll keep this short because the pictures far out weight the text I could clack away. Halloween! this year was a collaborative effort between me and you Henny and it was awesome. The past three years we gave you choices of what you wanted to be... year 1 you were a hot dog, year 2 you were Chewbacca, and year 3 you were an impressive Yoda with a hand made light saber replica thanks to your dad and last year you were a lit up Robot. Well, this year you wanted to be a tarantula. You and I sat down in the kitchen with your notebook. While I listened to your description I sketched and you made adjustments as needed. We made a list of materials needed and upon review you wrote in "cursive" the parts we had forgotten. We selected our fabric easily but the search for eyeballs proved more of a problem. At the last minute, just after settling on google eyes you were searching through some discount Halloween bins and found some Styrofoam eyes on sticks and a bag of eyes and asked if I thought they would work. UH! Yeah! They were perfect!
Bahboo, Krispie and Currie joined us. The weather was beautiful and Hazel looked cuddly sweet in the kitty cat outfit that Henry picked out.
Hazelita, you sat with Daddy and shook candy in both hands, got all yellow from a baggie of cheese balls and waved and said hi to random trick or treaters.
I love my little ghoulies! Love, Mama
P.S. I always have standards for the Halloween outfits. They must keep you warm, not cover your face and be comfortable and flexible...after this year, I have to add it must light weight. The weight of all of those legs and the big back slowed you down and wore you out early. haha
