While I love the season of fall with a passion, I've never been a big fan of Halloween. I don't really enjoy dressing up or the stress of deciding what to be. I think of it as another holiday to endure before we get to the ones that really count, Thanksgiving and Christmas! But, being the great Mom I am I try hard not to stifle the Spirit of Pretend that exists in my children. I do however love the excuse to sew fantastic costumes that will be used for dress-up play for years to come. So, next year I am banning store-bought costumes so that I can indulge my inner seamstress. That and if I have hear that a child is not wearing a piece of their costume because, "It's itchy!" one more time I'm going to scream.
Happy Halloween!

I'm all about making your own costumes. My favorite I saw last night: an ear of corn. The little girl wore some kind of green tunic dealie and the corn kernels were egg cartons painted yellow. She even had a little felt hat with yarn sticking out the top as corn silk.
