Halloween Plans
This year for Halloween I am going to dress F up as a rocket ship!
She crawls so fast, it only seemed natural.
I'm going to make a simple A-line sleeveless dress out of some blue-grey cotton twill and use craft felt to add details. I want to put some red, slightly stuffed fins around the bottom. I think I'll use some of the printer fabric to make a little flag and a "USA" and maybe a NASA logo. I'm going for a very 1950s American cartoon rocket ship look. Oh, and a little pointed hat of course to make the top of the rocket, which she will probably only tolerate wearing for the 30 seconds it will take for me to get a photo, if that. A matching pair of pants with red, orange, and yellow felt scraps at the hem for flames.
And then, to make this a complete Cheesy Family Costume, I am going to be a shooting star - black thrifted shirt and skirt decorated with glitter paint and a big giant star with trailing sparkley streamers pinned to my shoulder. HB is going to be a NASA engineer - white lab coat which he is always trying to incorporate into a costume somehow and a little NASA badge I will print for him. Maybe a clipboard and a pocket protector. And a slide rule.
We have a baby Halloween party to go to on (I think) the 29th but otherwise on the day itself we are just going to hand out candy to the neighborhood kids.
