A younger version of myself believed that sewing Halloween costumes for my children would validate me as a "good mother". I was fairly successful with a set of crayon costumes and one clown ensemble. Then Kiersta wanted to be a medieval princess...after dropping $80 (yes, that was *eighty* dollars) at the fabric store and spending two days hunched over a sewing machine, the perfect princess was clothed! Then I found an (almost) identical dress online for $25. I've never sewn a costume since.This year we found costumes at a big box store at 60% off the week before the holiday and while standing in the checkout line, a sweet stranger handed me a "Friend & Family" coupon for an additional 20% off! SCORE!

Kiersta and Kamryn look so great! Is Kiersta's hair now pink?!? I can't keep up with all of the color changes! I hope you had a great Halloween.
Big score for you! I love a deal.
I commend you for even trying to make costumes. I have no creative jeans in that area. They look way cute.

YAY!! You have a blog!!! Whoo-Hoo!!
Your girls look FAB! I'm bookmarking this blog RIGHT NOW!
Cute girls--you have your hands full. My mom was the biggest person on making costumes and did a fabulous job. Wish I had inherited that gene lol. But, as you said, fabric is outrageous. You can buy them so much cheaper now.
Love the pic.
