The second time around
It is amazing how much difference a year makes.
September, 2005. I decided that I wanted to make Eli's Halloween costume, so I spent a month and a half finding a pattern, buying all of the supplies (fabric, ribbon, bells!), and sewing. I stayed up late at night for 2 weeks straight just so I would have it done in time for the playgroup Halloween party. The result? A too big but homemade monkey costume...
October, 2006. When the playgroup Halloween party came around this year, I still had no idea what Eli's costume would be. I dressed him in jeans and a t-shirt, threw a cowboy hat on him, and he was a cowboy. I felt kind of guilty about this, until 2 other moms did the exact same thing!
October 31st, 4:45 PM. Chris calls to tell me that he is on his way home from work, and asks if he can pick anything up on the way home. I replied, "Can you stop by the Party Outlet and pick up a COSTUME FOR ELI so we can go to the family fun night at 6:00?"
Last minute, but still pretty darn cute.

You crack me up!
We both had lions this year. Eli's costume looks much warmer than Zach's!

Eli looks adorable and cuddly. I want to snuggle him!
Believe it or not, I actually had Zoe's costume finished 2 WEEKS before Halloween. I'm a freaking loon. Even more unbelievable, it fit (considering I had no idea how big she'd be when I bought the pattern). But, I guess you're telling me that the newness of all this is going to wear off someday. :-)

Too, too cute. Chris did an excellent job. Did he roar too?
