A successful playdate! A and O came over today to play with us. Well, technically O came to play, A came to drink coffee with me. Isaac was at preschool, so it was just the girls. O is between both girls in age, so we had fun. I really enjoyed the visit with A. It was really nice to know that we have both had the same cold reaction from some of the moms here in town. Not that I wish that on anyone, but I'm glad it's not just me. *wipes brow* Hopefully today's visit will be repeated soon. A liked my coffee, so it's promising. ;)
Need to make Isaac's Halloween costume. I've never cut up a sheet before, and it sounds like an easy thing to make a ghost, but it's stressing me out. Norah has a fairy/princess costume that is too big for her, so should work for stuffing about 8 layers of clothing underneath. Ruby gets to have a turn being dressed as a dalmatian puppy, as both of her siblings did. As a kid who grew up complaining that "you can't tell what I am dressed as with my winter jacket overtop", I am very conscious of making costume choices that fit over winter gear. Somewhere there is a photo of me, around age 6, wearing an angel costume with a glitter mask...and a green parka. Nice.

Your H costume plans made me laugh. For one Halloween, I was a hootchie (type of fishing lure, *not* a streetwalker!) and this involved cutting a sheet to fit over my head like a ghost (except then I spray painted it olive green with bright pink stripes). What I learned, after cutting 3 sheets, is that it's better to stand under the sheet, draped how you want it to go, and then have someone else cut it to the right length. It's also better to make sure there are armholes, or a way for arms to move around, and not trap your arms in a tube of fabric. (I went to school like that!)
Another cold-conscious mama here. It's -2F today. Even with warm bundly clothes, I don't think trick-or-treat will last long this year.
YAY!!! for your playdate! Wish we could come over. :-)
