I have not been hibernating. This is what I've been up to...
I have spent every waking and sleeping hour for the last three weeks designing a pattern for and making Aubrie's 'Queen Amidala' costume. It turned out very nicely, if I do say so myself.
I was looking at these photos from http://www.padawansguide.com/red_invasion_gallery.shtml to make the pattern.
Keeley didn't want to be anything to do with Star Wars. She loves the kimono I made for Aubrie a few years ago.
With a twist!
Chinese Vampire.
Henry wanted to be Anakin. Easy, no sewing involved.
Jesse the Storm Trooper. Also no sewing involved.
Andee in her homemade, but not by this mom, Yoda outfit. Purchased on eBay for $5, thank you very much!
The weather couldn't have been better for our annual trunk-or-treat. Cool, slight breath of a breeze. No coats required.
Of course this year Keeley went to bed with a tummy ache. Hopefully she won't barf at 2 a.m. this year. I won't hold my breath for that one either.

Way to go! Aubrie's costume was fab! All the kids looked great. It was nice and warm here too. Very nice for a change on Halloween.
WOW!! Sheri you amaze me!! Aubrie's costume looks absolutely amazing!! All your kids look really cute. We had a lot of fun at the ward party. I prefer doing that over going door to door. Much easier, and safer! Glad you guys had a fun Halloween too!
Okay, so when my girls are old enough, you are so sending me that queen amidala costume...please, please, please...PLEASE! It is so awesome. Sometimes I forget how awesome you are. I could go blind from your sheer awesomeness! You should bring it to Christmas so I can examine it...did you use yarn for the hair, or were you awesome at doing the hair-do too!
What a beautiful costumje! Sharon was telling us about Aubries costume and she was right, beautiful! Hope she wears it for a few years or that Keeley wants to wear it next year! Or you could sell it on ebay for way more than 5 dollars!
