some curiosity,
and much happy giggling all around.
Each of which is quite a soothing balm for the soul.
Today was also Lara's first trip to the dentist, which discomfort she bore with minimal crying and general stoicism - and, as an extra bonus, no cavities! Yay us with the (some would say spotty) brushing!
And while filling out all sorts of forms at the dentist's office, I kept having to write out today's date, so that it finally dawned on me - Halloween is ten days away! We have no costume in sight! So, dear Internet friends, before I am reduced to scouring the mall for some pink getup, I welcome any and all of your suggestions! The main limitation is that the costume have no head piece - she's become quite hat/headband averse. What are your kids wearing? Is it lame to dress Lara up in a Star Trek uniform if she has no clue what that is (that's my latest and greatest idea)? Or is it cool to display our interests through our child?

Hi Anna. So glad to hear you had a good day. I am always checking the blog and wondering about you, and then say, 'as soon as things quiet down I am going to call Anna.' But it is never quiet here so I just need accept it and get used to doing things with noise. Will call soon. Miss you.
KNOCK ON WOOD!!! .. and wishing you more smiles
Welcome back.
No creative costume ideas, just the usuals, ghosts, pumpkins, princesses, candy, fruit...
congratulations on Ikea Hacker, BTW. Very nice projects.
I've been an admirer of your blog for sometime. Didn't think how much I like keeping up with your good stuff until you were gone. Good to see you back.
So nice to see a post from you again - I too have been sorely absent.
For headpiece-free costume ideas, I suggest the "type" of costumes in which Lara is "in situ" of the costume theme. For example, Her little face could peek out from a grocery bag filled with other grocery items (real or crafted). Or maybe she's the rider (and front leg provider) of a pony. Or, really, any basic object (lego block, sandwich, planet) with arms, legs, and a head poking out.
Then again, if your craftiness is leaning toward Star Trek... make it so! Good luck.
So good to see the smiling face, loved the Lego idea (since this is a favorite)
My nephew was a doctor last year. Just need scrubs and a cheap Dr kit from target.
You could hand make her a pumpkin costume or sunshine out of cardboard and paint, just apply straps over her arms. Have a wonderful weekend.
