Our ward trunk-or-treat was tonight. It was a blast! This morning was not a blast. I was desperately running through my house looking in closets, bags, and a big costume bin trying to piece together 3 knight costumes that would be suitable for my little swordsmen. One wonderful friend had given Carter a great costume already and another great friend had a handmade princess dress she loaned us for Sarah. So, I only needed two costumes. Nothing seemed to look right and at the height of my frustration I was about to take some scissors to an old t-shirt to create something that look like a knight tunic.
That's when my phone rang.
My awesome friend Juliann: "STEPH!!! GO TO MY BLOG!! LOOK WHAT I JUST FINISHED!!!
So, I go to her blog and see this! So perfect. I asked her how she did it. "Oh, just a few coat hangers and some felt...." Amazing!!! I'm so proud of my friends and their craftiness--I know a few ladies who could literally make dinner with their sewing machine (you know who you are!). But I think this costume takes the prize for this year. (Thanks, Juliann for letting me brag/post about you AND for offering to sew me anything I wanted for tonight!)
I'll put up some pictures of my cute knights and my little princess when I get some self-esteem back. :) Actually I think their costumes turned out great!!

I can't wait!! :)
Steph, remember, I'm not the RS pres and I have Claire in preschool and my son takes a LONG nap during that time. If she wasn't in school, I'm not sure I could have pulled it off.
Okay everything could be perfect in my world and I STILL couldn't pull off that costume.
The saddest part is that I have TWO knight costumes sitting upstairs gathering dust....It doesn't take long to stick them in the mail....
I almost called you to beg for a jedi costume until I broke down and bought one.
Now, if I could just do something with all that chocolate calling my name...(other than inhale it).
I can't wait to see your little princess!
