I was so lame last night that I went to bed at 7:45pm. Sometimes my body just says go to sleep and I have to listen.
So I thought that since I had been unproductive, I'd revisit one of my favorite Halloween Costumes that Matt and I made for Maisy. You may not know but I'm a huge Wonder Woman fan, I have dolls, key chains and yes, the tv show on DVD. I also encourage my daughter's love of Wonder Woman and was delighted when she "agreed" to be Wonder Woman for Halloween.
Her costume was made out of a red sweatshirt that Matt painted on with fabric paint, I sewed a quick blue drawstring skirt and stenciled on white stars and the head band and wrist bands were poster board painted with gold paint and red stars. Throw in some white tights, gold cord from the fabric store, red boots and voila! Instant Wonder Woman Costume.
I loved her little costume so much that I made a quick "Super Mom" costume to go with Maisy's.
And yes, that is Lori and her cuties. I love how they always dress up as a family, this year they were Little Red Riding hood, Grandmother, the Big Bad Wolf and the Wood cutter. They were absolutely darling walking down town.
Tonight I'm going to actually stay up until 10pm (yes, you heard me right 10pm!) and work on my potholder swap. Also can anyone tell me how to get blogger to let me write first and then put in the picture? No matter what I do it always puts the picture at the top of my post and it's getting a little irritating.
Everyone have a great night and wish me a productive evening!

I loved those costumes of yours that year! The pink hair was fantastic on you! But that is one of the least flattering pictures of me. So thanks there Michelle. Oh, wait! The one Alicia posted of me is even worse!
There must have been something in the water supply yesterday because I blew off belly dance and went to bed at 9:45 (after looking at the IKEA catalogue AGAIN, for like the 5th time, and nudging Tim incessantly - "Hey, look at this!")
Okay, evidently I can't come up with my own post, but I can do a whole post on your blog. :)
Cheers!
Oh, Lori. That picture wasn't that bad. At least she looked happy!
And Michelle- the costumes are great. (You look hot!)
If you type what you want and then upload the pictures, you can go to the tab that lets you actually view the html and you can cut and paste the code in the location you'd like. At least that's how I used to do it. Does that make sense?
yeah, blogger keeps stacking photos on top of one another. i load pix fist and then write "around" them, if that makes any sense.
love the costumes. but i've got to ask, you use that wig for sexcapades, don't you? i mean, seriously? how could you not?
Hey, have a productive evening, love the costumes.
Well, I was hoping for an answer to the picture question - but I don't see one. When I put the pics in, if you select the pic, you can then "drag" it to where you want it. That's what I do. A pain.
Cute Wonder Woman, and you are Super Sexy Mom.
