Our home school day? The recession? The Election?
Nope.
Halloween week.
Since my mother re-introduced me to my sewing machine during her last visit, I have foolishly decided that I am suddenly crafty enough to sew Halloween costumes for my children. And so yesterday, I ventured out into the wilds of *gasp* the fabric store... and wandered around, pretending I knew what the h%#$ I was doing.
I picked up some pioneer-y looking fabric for Action Man's Davy Crockett costume, and some Indian-y looking stuff for Little Boo's Pocohontas-doubling-as-Kateri-Tekawitha costume. Little Dear is going to be Queen Susan, (luckily we have the outfit!) I just needed to get some sort of ribbon to decorate for her hair. I also picked up some poly-fil, because, really, what is a trip to the fabric store without purchasing poly-fil? Also, I wanted to perpetuate the delusion that while I have my sewing machine out and humming, I was going to re-cover the window seat cushions in the home school room, and beef up the puny pillows as well. Who knows? I may even make curtains while I'm at it.
And then I will check myself into an insane asylum.
If you don't hear from me for awhile, at least you'll know the reason.

I'm right there with you.
Why can't my children all just go out as hobos? Sadly, they wouldn't have to change too much of their daily outfits. :)
