Halloween is almost here...

So here are some pictures of the costume I just finished for my little boy.  A couple of his favorite things are dinosaurs and trains, so the PBS show Dinosaur Train is naturally a favorite.  Thus his "Buddy" outfit:

Here are a couple more shots from other angles:

This is his "mom, I have had quite enough pictures taken" face.


Anyways, this is the first year I have actually made him a costume and I am thrilled that he loves it.  He doesn't want to take it off actually, which is problematic with the tail...I'm sure you can imagine.



On a completely unrelated note, I went to a craft fair today and along with the must have kettle corn, I also found these lovelies:

They were created by Debbie Thompson and her shop tom design is just full of colorful little treasures.  (I want it all!!!)



On another completely unrelated note, we seem to be unable to admit that it is not summer anymore, as evidenced by our dinner this evening:

Teriyaki burgers with pineapple, sweet potato fries, and corn and bell pepper salad with lime vinaigrette.  Yum.    Even the little man liked it!
