It is precisely two weeks now until the big night and I STILL don't know what I'm going to be. I have to be something, though--it's on the list! Annual event means no chance for a redo and I'm not going to concede defeat.
At first I was super excited because we had just watched The Wizard of Oz and the girls all wanted to be characters. We had Dorothy, Glinda the Good Witch, the Cowardly Lion, and the Tin Girl. Perfect! I'd round out the cast as the Wicked Witch and hubs could be my minion, an evil flying monkey! (Sorry Scarecrow, you were out.)
Then we went to buy the patterns...*
And there were princesses! And sparkly fabrics! And crowns! And magic wands! And did I mention princesses?
So this year will hereby be officially designated as The Year of the Princess. We have Princess Snow White, Princess Cinderella, Princess Jasmine, and Glinda the Good Witch, which--while technically not a princess--is the sparkliest, poofiest, glitteriest costume of all!
Should I keep in theme and be a princess? Ignore all the sparkles and glitter and be a free thinker? We're hosting my husbands boss and quite a few of his coworkers for Halloween, so it's got to be appropriate for that too. Okay, off to research princesses...
*Yes, I am one of those insane people who spends the weeks before Halloween sewing costumes from scratch, despite the fact that purchased costumes cost half the price and zero the time. My costumes are nicer and better quality but I fully recognize that the evenness of my stitching and quality of my fabrics is really not of importance in regards to an outfit that will be worn perhaps once or twice, then end the night completely covered in a smorgasbord of chocolate and goo.
