This one or two hours of late night free time is hard!<br /><br />Gabe has decided on being a ghost now, I think, but the color changes. Now he can't decide if he wants to be all yellow or a mixture of yellow, red, and orange. He likes the warm colors. Why he can't just be a regular white ghost is beyond me!Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-87595078935510478782014-10-21T07:17:58.616-05:002014-10-21T07:17:58.616-05:00I love making things, so it's great fun for me...I love making things, so it's great fun for me. And I like making them costumes they can enjoy after Halloween too -- last year I made a helicopter and an airplane, which were much more challenging than this. They've both held up really well and still get played with. We still have the firetruck costume I made 3 years ago, too -- gotta love cardboard boxes!<br /><br />For a while my son said he wanted to be a lamp post this year, so I'm really glad he changed to Lego Person. All that needs is a blank shirt, fabric paint, yellow gloves, and yellow face paint.<br /><br />And yeah, sometimes parents just have to pick. My two-year-old changes her mind daily between wanting to be Rapunzel, Elsa, Dusty from "The Apple Dumpling Gang," and Cinderella. I finally said, "Look, I'm buying purple fabric, I'm making you a purple dress, and on Halloween you can decide if you're Rapunzel or if you're Elsa wearing a purple dress, or Cinderella wearing a purple dress, or Dusty wearing a purple dress..."Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-10037639583267899062014-10-20T23:23:31.916-05:002014-10-20T23:23:31.916-05:00Wow, you're so dedicated!

Gabe keeps changing his mind this year: first it was a t-rex, then Batman Superman (he clumps them together as one), now it's a yellow ghost. Who knows? :P At the end of the day, I'll probably just pick one and hope he's content.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-38345816819704603892014-10-20T23:21:47.882-05:002014-10-20T23:21:47.882-05:00Yes, it's hard to resist even when he's be...Yes, it's hard to resist even when he's being ornery. It is (fun)! I've made it to the part where Victoria accomplishes what she's trying to do, but I haven't seen what follows yet.Reading in the Darkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13812641480668564435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1384181549956914712.post-32642642421127806572014-10-16T18:33:14.451-05:002014-10-16T18:33:14.451-05:00I'm almost done sewing an Elsa costume, will t...I'm almost done sewing an Elsa costume, will then move on to a Rapunzel costume, and finish off with a Lego Person costume... it's a fun time of year!

I also agree, the actors are entirely perfect for their characters. :)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.com
