mama's costume, part uno

I'm laying odds that someday my ungrateful child will drop me off at a substandard nursing home without a backward glance.

And golly, do I love me some Halloween. Always have.

So I'm making the best of these two definitives by whipping myself up a costume so that I can actively accompany the boy this year when he trick-or-treats.

If I'm still feeling motivated once I've finished my outfit, I'll make one for Todd, too.

Logan will probably be delighted. But in 10 years when I whip out the pictures, that delight will be replaced by horror and mortification.

As a result, I'll be doing him a favor. He won't feel one bit guilty about taking advantage of the two-for-one special when he parks us at the Heaven Bound Nursing Facility.

This weekend, I finished the first piece of my costume. Can you guess what the finished product's going to be?



Heck, no, I'm not going to model them for you. Actually, I tried, but in the picture, it's hard to tell where the bloomers stop and my white, spindly legs begin.

OMG are you going to be raggedy Ann? Or maybe a Southern Bell.. I can't wait.. You are sooo talented!

Well, since your son is going as Mickey I will guess that you are going as Goofy! I would like to see Todd dressed as Donald. He has the sailor suit for it.

Hee hee! Actually, Logan said he wanted me to make a Pluto costume for his papa. There's no way I'm buying all that tan fur; he can just wear Augie's collar and we'll call it a day.

OMG I did not even think about that.. So you are going to be Goofy.. How cute.. I can't wait to see you all dressed up...

No, not Goofy...not quite tall enough. But I'll be in the same family assuming these characters are supposed to be related.
