The Scariest of Them All
When Jammin' told me his idea for Halloween, my initial reaction was to persuade him to choose something else.
His choice could not be found in the local retail shop.
I would have to make this costume with my limited sewing abilities (i.e. - I stink)
But then, I felt a deliciously Evil feeling warm my body. A feeling of complete desire to scare and ruin someone's happy day. That someone was Jenny (The Bloggess and Mama Drama). She would HATE his costume. She would DETEST his costume. She would scream in fear. heh heh heh - BWAA HAAA HAA.
And so it began - nights of laying in bed planning the costume, trips to the fabric store to buy felt, stuffing, and thread, a day of trying to thread the sewing machine, and one night of pure agony making the beast.
And here you have it: What Jenny fears most:
THE GIANT SQUID
HAPPY HALLOWEEN
That is a great costume!!!! Your sewing skills are WAY WAY better than mine!!!!

You rock for jacking with Jenny's mind. I appreciate it.

Love the costume! I never would have thought of being a squid. :) Funny!
(sorry for my delay - I was in a motel with bad connection)
PS my anniversary is May 24th, you could have the baby a day late. :) Or a little early, my daughter's is May 18.

For someone who can't sew, you did a fantastic job! See, I knew you had it in you. Wanna learn to quilt now?

Love the costume!! You did a great job. I don't think I could have gotten the nerve to figure it out on my own.

WHO named your children anyway!?

Very cool! If I tried to sew anything more elaborate than a pillowcase, I would need months of therapy. Way to go!

That is a brilliant costume! So cool, and he is thoroughly enjoying himself!

Limited sewing skills...I don't think so.
Posted by: Beckie | October 31, 2007 at 08:35 AM
Wow, if that's stinky sewing I'm wondering if there's a bad enough word for my sewing ability, that's a fantastic costume.

ps. I can hear him (in my heart) giggling after making that face, then chasing zeus down the hallway, and zoe trying to knock him down to find out it if is really him inside there.
And I can hear (in my heart) buttercup saying, "Is it Halloween yet, mamam?"

My grandson - the giant squid.
He has the most unusual and amazing brain - of course!!!!
