We sure missed my mom this year and her help with costumes! Wahhh!! She is always so good at making them or offering suggestions. The kids also decided that they were absolutely done with a theme. I've LOVED having them do themes and we've done some pretty fun ones:
2009 - Alice in Wonderland
2008 - 5 Little Monkeys who jumped on the bed
2007 - Wizard of Oz
2006 - The 3 Little Pigs & The Big Bad Wolf
But, it was fun to let the kids each decide what they wanted to be. They ended up being:
Emily - a 50's dancer (and used her dance costume from last year)
Lindsey - witch
Jack - Rocky Balboa
Kate - Ariel
Hannah - Minnie Mouse
Kate's preschool class - she's on the top row with the blue dress 
Hannah & her best friend Heidi ended up both being Minnie Mouse! Can you tell which of these children has a mother who is a seamstress and which is not?
Jack marching in the school parade. He was happy to see me there and grinned really big & waved.
Emily was also happy to see me!
Lindsey - not so much! She raised her hand slightly for a small, quick wave and gave me a look liek "Mom, why are you here?"

Ha ha ha....that is hilarious that Lindsey wanted to stay home and watch "The Sound of Music" instead of trick or treating. And that she was embarressed to see you at school...it's only the beginning :)
All the kids looked so cute in their costumes.
Very cute! I would hope you are referring to yourself as the seamstress Little Miss Quilter lady!!
I think I'm going to stay home next year and watch The Sound of Music. That is utterly hillarious. The kids ended up looking adorable. Only 90 more years until your mom gets home to help with ideas again (at least that's what it feels like)
I have always loved your themed costumes. I'm glad you wrote those down from past years. I might end up stealing one of your ideas in the future. : )
Yes, of course, you're the seamstress!
Love all of the costumes and pictures. That is so cute the ideas you have had in the past Jeannette. You are so creative.
