The girls knew what they wanted to be for Halloween as soon as the Wishcraft catalog showed up in the mail this past summer. They would flip through the pages with stars in their eyes. I would find the magazine and quick toss it in the trash, because who can justify spending nearly 100$ per costume!! "No sir, not me!" said the mom with 5 kids in tow. But WAIT.... What's that? Up in the sky! Is it a bird? A plane? No, it's... Gramma Pat flying on a sewing machine!!! On her way to save the day. Our own personal superhero spent hours and hours on her last trip out making sure all the girls had just the costume they wanted. She would have done the same for the boys, but a trip to goodwill found us a mint condition Spider-man costume. Never mind the fact that it was a few sizes to big. Aaron wanted it none the less, and who was I to crush his spirit for 8$. (Plus it will fit him next year, and Ben can get a few years out of it.) Poor Ben the forever victim of 'if it fits, it's yours!' Much thanks to Gramma Pat for all her hard work!
Happy Halloween!!
and
BOO!!
