1st Halloween...and a party pooper!

Surprised we got a smile out of him. This costume is really heavy and he wasn't too happy that it made his new crawling skill more difficult. I don't take much credit...OK, I do take a lot of credit..but it was a Martha Stewart idea just like Zoey's Eagle costume for her 1st Halloween. C'mon, you may not like Martha but ya gotta admit, she sure does have a great staff to round up all those great recipes and crafts.

Some different views.
OK, I'm definitely as proud as a Momma Web can be of this costume. Note the 4 eyeballs (Martha's pattern didn't call for that, it was my addition)...and yep, the really gross spiders have at least 4. To really appreciate it you must know that I'm very arachnophobic...for some reason it's getting worse with age.


Thankfully, we had a party at Preschool on Monday so I got some pics of us all together. And thank you Allison (Ever's Mom, another blogging momma and source of a lot of our photos) for getting some additional footage.


WARNING: Do not open unless you want to hear a whining/crying/hysterical toddler. Mind you, this blog is my version of scrapbooking so I must preserve it (even the ugly moments) for posterity's sake. All I can say is "Thank God I didn't burn the midnight oil actually making her costume". I'd have been even more pissed and I'd probably have forced her to wear it and trick-or-treat...damn it! Thanks Mom for the support! I was really disappointed...seems you probably were more persuasive with me than I could ever be with Zoey.
