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!

The First Halloween

For Moe's first Halloween, he was a chili pepper. He was exactly 5 months old. He was a sweet and good natured baby who already slept through the night. We went to a mom's group Halloween party. It was our first mom's group family event. It was at the local community center and it was crowded and hot. Moe was miserable. It was fun seeing all the babies in costume but we were all fussy and mostly wanted to leave. We stayed for the parade and the group picture, then got the heck out of there. But not before getting this:

Totally worth it.
