Megan and Manuel throw a heck of a party






I grossly underestimated how many snakes and how much tulle I would actually need. That's what happens when you procrastinate your homemade costumes. I found a no-sew tutu tutorial on Youtube for Maura's tutu. I'm all about no-sew projects, or anything with the word "no" in it. We were going to go with the Maura as Gene Hackman Halloween idea because they have the same hairline, but I decided to give my daughter one less issue to hate me for when she's older.

Lizzy was very concerned with your last picture. "Baby - oh No! Mommy - oh No!"
Apparently she doesn't think that a baby is safe with a blue-faced snake-headed momma.
Very cute costumes.

Cute tutu!! She looks darling! Was it pretty easy to make? I'd like to make one for Caysja. And you look awesome too, Heather.

That is hilarious!!! I DO think she'll appreciate your futuristic thinking and letting her be a cute girl for her first Halloween. But hey, it's probably one of the last Halloween's where you'll be able to pick her costume for her. And the snakes--what a touch. What did Maura think of them???

I just noticed that you were reading Babywise. So, what do you think??? I read it and used the basic routine and my kid did great. Of course, you can't do the 'program' to a "T" but everyone I know that has used it has loved it. The only people I hear crap from haven't even read it.
