Grant has been celebrating Haloween for the last week with his new rubberbands (yes, this is the type of thing I did when I was 8 and had braces, but he insists :)
We really had no plans but Grant came home last week saying that his co-residents and him were going to do a Wizard of Oz theme. So, we went out to try to find something easy and cheap for a lion costume. We found a hoody that was fuzzy on the inside, so he wore it inside out, and then we sewed on some extra fur and ears...and attached a tail to the bottom. Not the best lion I've seen but I think he's pretty cute :)
Nothing better to instill trust in your patient than fuzzy ears and facepaint ;)
I wasn't sure if I would dress up, but after I heard a commerical for $2 burritos at Chipotle if you're wearing a costume, I thought I would whip something up....
It was my first time using "freezer paper" to make a stencil and I was
actually really impressed with how well it worked! I printed out what I
wanted to have on the shirt, traced it onto the freezer paper, used an Exacto and scissors to cut out the "stencil", ironed it on to the
shirt...and then painted it!
And I'm sure you all got it with the costume...but just in case... :)
Ahhh! So excited for you guys! I can't wait to hear more. Our kids will only be about 6 months apart :) I'll talk to you soon!
