Getting Halloween All Sewn Up

,
Carmen's costume for this year required a teensy bit of sewing, which I was really happy not to do. This girl is getting so useful - I'm sorry to send her to school tomorrow.

  1. Homeschool??

    Yes, she is very helpful. Loved having her around last weekend. I was trying to think of ways to get her to come up for a while, with Chloe of course. We'd get a lot done together.

  3. Yes, and I've heard from Kelly that your children are more useful than most. "But of course," I think. "They've been trained by Barb." Lucky children.

  4. If you can spare her, I am still in the midst of costumes. I'm sure she'd do a better job sewing them than I.

    And I think Aimee misses her idol.

  7. I love and admire independent kids! (And the parents who help helped them become that way.)

  8. Yeah, I could use her too. All I have are about 3 black capes...which I make the kids use every Halloween...

  9. Will you be my mom? I could use training in some fundamental skills.
