sadie could pay $1.00 to break dress code and wear a halloween costume.
here is a sneak peak of sadie and her friend. they have been enthralled in the percy jackson series and thus decided to be greek goddesses, which we like to call greek heros :)
i took them shopping for stuff to make their costumes. they designed them, then we attempted to make them. they had a sleep over (on a school night) so they could get ready together. i thought they looked fantastic, even though sadie said they got asked if they were mother nature, eve (my favorite), and the caesar dude from little caesar pizza.
at the beginning of october, when the kids were deciding what to be, i said, "you can be anything you can find in the dress up box." i vowed i would not attempt to make their costumes. i am not that crafty and i always get frustrated because it doesn't end up the way i imagined, but... when your six year old looks at you and says he wants to be a penguin and you think he will change his mind, but he doesn't...what is a mom to do? my hands hurt from sewing, and the costumes are mediocre at best. but it was worth it when kai and abe put them on and both said , "I LOVE IT!!"
