Off to See the Wizard!


We're off to see the Wizard, the most wonderful Wizard of Oz! Yep, Lily was the cowardly Lion and I was Dorothy. We had a great Halloween. I made Lily's costume and let me tell you that was no easy task! It was my first sewing experience and not an easy one. My Grandma helped me a ton! Thanks Grandma! We only had a few bumps in the road. Besides me putting the zipper in the leg and unpicking a few times it was great. On Halloween night I wished a few times that Lily still had the zipper up the leg cause it was a little difficult to change her diaper. We had a great time though. I decided that Halloween is truly on the top of my list for holidays! I love it, the dressing up, the food, and the candy! It is awesome!
