You would make amazing costumes, I know. But I also agree with deciding which is your priority! I love love making the Halloween costumes, but sometimes wonder why for one night. I tell myself that he'll play with it more than the one night. This year he asked to be Curious George dressed up as a Monster, so that was a FUN one to make a priority.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-16567737437755106392011-10-31T22:46:59.315-06:002011-10-31T22:46:59.315-06:00I read the history of Halloween years ago when I w...I read the history of Halloween years ago when I was doing US curriculum - living in Australia there isn't a whole lot of emphasis on it... and to be honest, I'm glad. I'd rather celebrate the God stuff in life than the ghoulish side of things. I think maybe we create things that bring us pleasure. You create beautiful things for your girls. There's nothing wrong with that being your preference. :) Either way, I'm sure the girls had a fabulous time - whether you created their costumes or not.Seaweed and Rainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11741557465820695748noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-47056422900035788002011-10-31T17:50:43.217-06:002011-10-31T17:50:43.217-06:00I don't think you are a "Halloween Slacke...I don't think you are a "Halloween Slacker" at all. It's all about priorities. Plus who is Halloween for? The children. Sometimes I think adults can get caught up in trying to look like "Super Mom" when in reality it doesn't matter. You are wonderful and amazing!Lizzyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13404155859321416850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-59414622594793266332011-10-31T12:55:54.391-06:002011-10-31T12:55:54.391-06:00We all pick and choose don't we?

My good friend says, "when you say yes to something you're saying no to something else." I try to remember that!Anneliesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03670002900625092259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-31763903417909527932011-10-31T12:26:19.441-06:002011-10-31T12:26:19.441-06:00This post makes me feel better.

I do Halloween pretty well, but fall apart on many of the other holidays, and I've NEVER done a birthday party that looks anything like yours.

It's not super fancy or whimsical but maybe one of these years.Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03882596439110061970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2611352990646835361.post-9435735612344384282011-10-31T07:57:49.747-06:002011-10-31T07:57:49.747-06:00I am a big slacker too.

My daugher is wearing the "Audrey Cape" I made for Project Run and play...the baby is being a monkey (from the costume bin) and the oldest is Harry Potter...again.<br /><br />Easy costumes for us this year.<br /><br />(Although I am a bit sad...because every other year we have done a family theme and matched....but they wanted their own thing this year. Growing up too fast.)elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08029570227228759080noreply@blogger.com
