ANYWHO.
It's that time of the year. MY FAVORITE TIME OF THE YEAR. I love October, and I absolutely LOVE Halloween. Now that I have a kid, I get to dress her up and take her trick-or-treating and it's so AWESOME!! So Corbin's first Halloween, she was as cute as a pumpkin...
...and last year she was the fair and beautiful Snow White.
THIS YEAR, however...I'm making her costume by hand. And I give you...
DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUN...
So yes, we're going to be Olivia the pig this year. I'm going to be making the shirt (because I can't find one anywhere that doesn't cost an arm and a leg *coughAmericanApparelcough*) and the red dress. And the ears. Can't forget the ears!! I ordered the tights today (yay free shipping and 10% off at BabyLegs.com), so I'm not backing down or copping out! I've been putting off making the costume because I was scared to commit to making something by hand, but in the spirit of Halloween and all future Halloweens, it's time to get started!! I solemnly vow from here on out, Corbin will have the coolest costumes of all time because I WILL be making them.
THE END!
I'll let you know how it goes! Don't worry, I WILL post pictures! :D

I cannot WAIT to see her costume!!! I am so excited and you are so awesome! (Or should I say "SEW" awesome?) I decided this year was a good year for buying costumes for us. I just don't have the energy to get 3 done - maybe next year but then I'll have to do 4. YIKES! I know Alayna is going to love Corbin's costume - she is so in love with Olivia. She really thinks we're going to name the baby Olivia even though I keep telling her no. And she wants to change James's name to Ian. Booger. It's so funny you just posted this because we just got back from mailing the YGG book. I hope she enjoys it!!! I can't believe it was on clearance BEFORE Halloween. Finding stuff for a dollar is TOTALLY AWESOME!!!
Yay for the book! I know Corbs will love it to pieces (literally).
And Olivia is an awesome name, which is why I gave it to Corbin, haha. And it disturbs me how much I like the name Ian. SO MUCH SO, that if I ever had a boy, it's my number 1 pick right now. That'd be waaaaay too weird, though!!
