She Only Wanted to be a Kangaroo...

 

As Halloween approached, I began interrogating Sophie on what she wanted to be.  She changed her mind every couple of days until she settled on being a kangaroo.  I figured this too would pass, but she became insistent.  One day in the car, I was telling Justin I wasn't sure exactly how to make a kangaroo costume.  Sophie was quiet in the back seat until she tapped me on the shoulder and handed me a piece of paper.  She said, "Mom this is a blueprint for my kangaroo costume, follow it carefully."

 This was the best I could come up with...  Justin brought Sophie a little kangaroo he got from work to stick in her pouch.

Katie was a wonderful Cinderella.  And both the girls absolutely loved trick-or-treating in our neighborhood.  I had just had surgery, and my parents came to take the girls around the neighborhood.  Sophie continues to wear the costume long after Halloween.
