I have 3D pen plastic stuck to my old one. Ohhhhh so this is a pic of the new one? I thought it was the old one, and I was scouring the image for signs of damage and couldnβt see it anywhere. Nope, old one was 18x12. And well loved.

J's Wild Kratts costume arrived from amazon, is too big, and has a exchange fee. Boo. I ordered both his and L's costumes the next size up because I thought all costumes run small. This is my expensive mistake for not checking the size chart.

Itβs a start. Lots of mistakes, but at least I have a game plan now.

One broken needle, ripping out 4 seams that I did by mistake, and a collar that is a little too short. Still needs some finishing and shoulder pads.

Gah, my husband just told me he wants to be Thor. Iβm super giddy that I can now justify ordering foam for armor and maybe a heat gun. And also terrified at the amount of work.

PDQ: **poof**
A's chicken costume came in and it's so cute, and there's plenty of room for her to layer up underneath for when it's cold out. I just need to make one more wattle to match the one that's on there (what chicken only has one wattle??)

Donβt quote this was E with most of her Dr Strange. *poof* Ive added more snaps to the vest and set the cloak better. Plus completed 4 of the belts. She also has the necklace and a pair of black boots.

We went to Six Flags last week, and my kids wore their costumes for the Twick or Tweat Twail. Two of the teenage workers recognized them as Wild Kratts creatures, and it made their day!!!

I just printed off and hung in our front window the Teal Pumpkin Project flyer. I'm getting 50 plastic spider rings today as part of our grocery pick-up, and the kids will pick out stickers next week for the goody bags. Now I just need to find our plastic teal pumpkin in the garage.
On a tangent, I originally ordered the spider rings to use for a book project when we read Charlotte's Web next month. I was like what am I going to do with the leftover 46 rings and then remembered Teal Pumpkin!

M wants to be Cruella this year. We found some great stuff at the thrift store, so as soon as I figure out her hair/makeup, we will be set. J is going to be a dogcatcher, and I guess Eliza and I will be dalmations.

So simple and so cute.

It's one of the few costumes I actually remember lol

Thereβs a house down the street that always has insane outdoor Halloween decorations. I have no idea where they store all of this stuff throughout the year. The yard is FULL of spookiness.
Well I was walking by this morning and their front door happened to be open. The inside is like Christmas threw up. There is a Christmas tree, garland everywhere with lights⦠these people freaking love the holidays. My senses are overwhelmed just thinking about it.

I think at last count before they sold their house they had 14 Christmas trees?
