This Halloween might mark the most work I have ever put into a costume(s). The kids' school designated the day before Halloween as Career day, which meant we had to find 2 costumes for Ada, (since Little Red Riding Hood isn't a career). Ada decided to be an Interior Designer, which required a cute outfit, some paint swatches and some renderings and blue prints donated by my high school friend who is a real Interior Designer. After (all) that work to make her into an Interior Designer she went to school and forgot what she was. Oh well.
The real work came when I had to make her a cape for her Little Red Riding Hood costume. Seriously, I actually cut a cape out of fabric. I totally deserved every bit of chocolate I stole from the kids bags.
Thankfully Cambel went as a soccer player for both days. For awhile we tried to convince him to be the Big Bad Wolf for Halloween, but really who was I kidding? There is no way I was going to make that costume happen and so I was secretly relieved when he just put on his soccer uniform.
Oliver went as Spiderman (a hand me down from Cambel, so that required nothing on my part).

| Oliver has worn this costume to the library and to preschool and to a friend's house. He really really loves it. |

| Maybe I can encourage him to be a soccer player every year |

| And here it is...the pinnacle of my Halloween achievements. Little Red Riding Hood. |
