Trunk or Treat 2013

A few months ago (and I mean probably back in January), as I was browsing Etsy, I saw a really cute parrot tutu costume for babies.  I saved the picture on my phone and knew right then what our costumes would be for Halloween.  The only problem was that when I went looking for pirate costumes for the girls, they were either super cheaply made or looked like they belonged on...well...not on little girls.  So I decided to make their outfits.  Well, their skirts anyway.  I was so proud of the outcome.  They aren't perfect, but I thought they came out pretty cute, especially since I am terrible with a sewing machine.  Lucy's tutu was easy, of course, but I was proud of myself for having the vision to use two different blues in a double layer to make it super fluffy.  I wish you could see the back better- I did some longer layers of dark blue, red, and yellow like the parrot's tail.

This year's trunk or treat was much less chaotic than last year.  I was not in charge of anything and we didn't have any sick kids!  The weather was perfect and the girls all looked so cute in their costumes.
