Anyone who knows my family understands that we are gaga over Halloween. I truly believe we start talking about next year's costumes around New Year's Day. And when the
Wishcraft catalog arrives in our mailbox in August, you can just forget it. Due to a very persistent big sister, even Henry and Harper are feeling the heightened pressure to decide "what we're going to be" for the big day. By using clever mommy tactics, I have always convinced my children to steer away from the most popular costumes as well as the heinous polyester messes and, of course, the scary disguises. And thanks to a mother-in-law who's made more than a few costumes in her day, most of our wares are of the homemade sort.
So yesterday on the playground, my three little pumpkins made their final selections- a rose garden for my Harper Rose, a super sleuth for Maddox, and a red "twain" for young Henry. Guess I'd better be off to the craft store to start gathering supplies. Good thing I've got six weeks to prepare!
