Redneck Goddess

I completely forgot to pictures of all the kids for halloween this year.  Sometimes I am so good at taking pictures and other times it just doesn't even enter my mind.  Especially since I haven't been lugging my big ole camera around much anymore because my neck has been bothering me too much lately.... so, I just use my crapola camera phone.  Emma used a costume we bought her a couple years ago so she was a Grecian goddess.  Jared dressed up like his favorite tv character, Sheldon. Ethan refused to wear a costume and Jordyn was "detention girl."  It was a glittered jail suit and the story she told everyone is that she got caught bedazzling a cop car so she was sent to detention. She went into much greater detail though.
I was having so much fun with my sewing machine after having made those masks that I decided that I wanted to sup up a costume that I found at the thrift store.  I bought a camouflage mens shirt so that I would have plenty of material and just cut off the sleeves and sewed them to the costume and then used the bottom of the shirt to sew a decretive hem onto the bottom of the dress.  I even used some of the material to cover a tiara that I had.  Nate is dressed like one of the characters from our favorite show about duck call makers.  He is Si and I am his redneck goddess because poor Si needs a good woman by his side.  It is the only time I have ever been able to get Nate to dress up....probably because he wasn't dressed up except for the beard.  He got into character by carrying around a tea glass and saying silly quotes all night.  It was a fun Halloween this year.
