In past years, of course, I didn't have a child to costume. But you know what I did have? A dog. That's right, my dog was forced to dress up. I don't think he really minded...
But now we have Tori. Sure, she's a little small to go trick or treating, but that doesn't mean I can't dress her up. Lucky girl that she is, she has two costumes. One we picked up at a second hand store for $5.
I call her my grumposaurus when she's fussy, so I thought a dragon costume would be appropriate.
Have you ever seen a cuter dragon?
I didn't think so.
But then we started worrying that we'd get flack for not dressing her in something appropriately girly, so I made her a fairy costume. That's right. Anti-crafty me made a costume. Luckily, it didn't require any sewing.
She likes being a fairy, I think. Here's a full length shot...
I think it turned out fairly well, all things considered. In fact, I'm patting myself on the back right now.
Couldn't you just eat her up? Oh, and don't worry. Kermit got in on the action too.
He'll always be our fur baby, after all. Hopefully, by Halloween, I'll have come up with a new costume for him. One that matches the baby's, perhaps?
I can hear him snorting in disgust right now.

ReplyDeleteMy kiddos are going to be spiders this year. Its the first year my toddler will "do" Halloween. I'm just hoping it gets cool enough by then, because otherwise they'll be too hot in their costumes. Halloween costumes are so hard to plan here in The South...it could be 95 degrees or 42, you just never know.
Thanks for the sweet note! I'm glad you like my story!
ReplyDeleteHi from SITS. Love these costumes. Too Cute!
ReplyDeleteThose are too cute!! and you did a great job on the faerie outfit! Maybe the dog should be a knight in armor to the dragon, or an ogre to the faerie?
ReplyDeleteHappy Halloween and thanks for stopping by and leaving a note!
Oh. My. Gosh! I LOVE the dragon!!! And those cheeks - could you just eat them up???
ReplyDeleteAnd you pat away on that back of yours, Sister. I'm crazy impressed with the fairy costume! Kuddos to you!
