My Finest Creations

I am not a crafty mom. Sometimes I wish I were, but I'm just not. I can cook, and I can bake. I have a pretty good eye for interior design but I'm not the person you turn to to make a new set of drapes. I think it probably saves me a lot of time.
On Friday, there was a Halloween parade at Moe's school. All the classes marched around one by one. This stuff kills me. I melt whenever Moe gets to participate in something so typical, even if he doesn't completely get it. And although most of the costumes (including Moe's) were of the store-bought variety, there were some really cool homemade ones, including two iPods, a Rubik's cube, and a Duracell battery (which at first glance, I thought was a pack of cigarettes). There were also some not so great hand made costumes, including a candy corn that looked quite unfortunately a little too much like a KKK hood. At least they tried.

For today's entry in the SITS Girls Halloween contest, I'm supposed to post about something I've made for Halloween. Looking through old photos, I couldn't find anything I've made for Halloween. Nothing. But I did make him:

With those faces, who needs a homemade costume?

Saturday, Sunday, and Monday of this week, I'll be writing Halloween inspired posts as part of the SITS Girls, sponsors of Bloggy Boot Camp, and a great resource for blogging tips and meeting other bloggers. They are currently running a contest for a Canon Rebel DSLR camera. Check it out!
