Trick or Treat

For Halloween this year we found this really cute Strawberry costume for Maddie. So I thought Abbey could go as Strawberry Shortcake. Easy right? Not so much! The Strawberry Shortcake I grew up with was super easy to make as a costume, but his new one has such a weird hat. We looked and looked and finally found a new Strawberry Shortcake costume online for only $27.00. I was going to order it when my Mom said that I could make it for so much cheaper. Well I totally fought her on it and then decided she was probably right. So I ordered the pattern, $6.75, then spent a whole day at Jo'anns and Hancock fabric getting the perfect fabric, $27.65, plus the Rolo candy that Abbey opened and started eating while I was paying! Man, it cost more to make it and I wasn't even making the pants!!!!! So now I was out $34.40 and I still had to make the dang on thing. I was so mad! Well I did it, I made her shirt and hat ALL BY MYSELF! I am so happy and I thanked my Mom for forcing me to make this costume. We had a great Halloween, it was a beautiful day. We went to trunk or treat at the Church and then came home and went trick or treating with new friends, Kevin, Nicole and Noah Smith. We had fun and the kids were all pooped out at the end of the night.
