Halloween is always a trying time for moms. This year was no different. As usual, my children wanted to be something completely not-off-the-rack-able, but thanks to sparkly tule, blue pleather and a HEAP of craft foam, mission was accomplished. I was heralded as the best mom ever several times, hugged, kissed and promised clean rooms forever. None of that lasted, but I am thnakful I can make them happy for a brief time. Gibson is a Pokemon, Kyogre, a legendary loosely based on a Killer whale (graphic below), while Delaney is not a Ladybug. She is her favorite book charater LADYBUG GIRL who is a little girl named Lulu dressed up as a ladybug- but alas, no basset hound. She is posing as a defiant Bug Squad hero in one of the pictures.
