Puppies!

Here are the boys in their Halloween fancies! Jack's puppy suit was so big on him last year that I decided he could wear it again this year. This was a brilliant move on my part because it meant that I only had to come up with Sawyer's costume. I thought it would be perfect to dress him in a brown sweat suit and then all I would have to do was make a smaller version of Jack's puppy hand. Pure genius, I tell you!

Ha.

After waiting until the last minute (Friday night) to get started on the hat, my sewing machine (which has been limping along for awhile now) finally went wheels up. What's that I am always telling my students about waiting until the last minute to start things?

I raced up to my friend MaryAnne's house on Saturday morning and got the hat finished just in the nick of time. Well, just in the nick of time for Sawyer to decide that he wanted absolutely nothing to do with it. He refused to wear the hat, opting instead to gum and drool on the ears and scream bloody murder when we tried to snap a few Halloween photos for posterity.

But we persevered into the next day and finally captured this momentous occasion. Can't you almost hear the wailing?
