Costume Crazy

Okay, so the second ...and I really mean the second I got  back from LA..... (possibly filming for a TV show..... which I can not reveal many details, except the fact this is was for our business and sooooo exhausting and kinda fun.....) my kids hounded me about Halloween costumes. Before I left on my not so sunny but more rainy and cold  California adventure I promised them that I would get their costumes together as soon as I got back. So now I realize this is where the stress really begins.
 Britney, who is 12, has this whole obsession with Lara Croft (Tomb Raider). She's going through a I wanna be a girl who kicks some serious butt phase. Which is all good, cause I actually never got out of that phase myself..... but the costume I found was a little too revealing for a 12 year old, which seems to be the case with any costume they sell for a girl over the age of ....lets say 5. So now I need to make this costume myself.... so I get her a pair of shorts (according to her, not the right color brown), I get her a shirt ( it's suppose to be a tank top... so I get out the scissors).. get the guns, holsters, and combat boots...... $50.00 later I'm thinking..." It probably would have been alright if a part of her butt cheeks were hanging out and her belly was kind of showing."

Okay... then I have Bree (10)... who is angelic looking... pale skin, beautiful wavy hair.... extremely polite and deep down inside...... just as dark & twisted as they come. She always needs to be something extremely frightening for Halloween. The sicker the better. So when she told me she wanted to be a bride this year I was a little shocked.... till she said " and Mom can you rip the wedding dress all up... throw blood all over it and make it look like my face had been ripped off?" Then I thought... "There's the little Bree I know!"

And then there's my son, Angelo (7). Thank God for Angelo! He wanted to be a werewolf.... 2 clicks later....DONE!  Gotta love the boys!

A great Fall Personalized Photo.... Have 2 names "carved"  into this fence. Great for those Fall weddings.
