i think i was just as excited as the boys were.
fortunately, the costumes were ready and just in time.
i admit, the bluebird costume was completed late friday night
thanks to my talented and patient hubby.
scoutie had a costume/bday party the next morning, so it had to be done.
after working on the owl costume so long, my patience was shot.
overall, i was pleased with the way these these little bird costumes turned out,
and most importantly, finn and scout were all smiles as they ran door to door.
if anyone commented on the costumes, finn was quick to share
he was an owl, scoutie was a bluebird and mom was a birdwatcher.
he followed with a "and they are HOMEMADE", emphasizing that in a big way.
auntie jen and i stood on the sidewalk watching and chuckling at this.
i mean what 6 year old even cares about homemade??
maybe it's because he likes to construct/create and appreciated that it wasn't store bought.
or maybe he knows mom put alot of work into them and that she isn't what one would call
'crafty' by any means. whatever the reason, it made me feel warm and fuzzy, and appreciated.
so here are the final creations. promise me you won't look too closely.
since i don't sew, fabric glue quickly become my best friend!

i hope you had a happy halloween!!
~ the inspiration for scoutie's bluebird costume came from martha stewart and the owl template from alphamom
