Wicked

I bought our Wicked tickets today! We try to do a holiday outing every year. We don't always, but we try. This year we were debating between a weekend in San Francisco and seeing Teatro Zinzanni or staying home and seeing Wicked. Wicked won!

Now I have to outfit everyone which is no small task for all of us. I have all of Grace's outfit purchased; although, I think I will have to buy new shoes (again). Her newish black sparkly shoes are getting a bit tight, and in another month, I think it will be hopeless. As I just discovered polyvore (what an amazing waste of time!), here is Grace's Wicked outfit:

Don't you just love the cape and scotty dog purse? Thank you Gymboree!

Chelsea has her dress, but I think I'm going to end up making her a coat as we can't find anything that we love. Delaney wants to wear this plaid vest that we bought at Forever 21, but we can't find anything to go with it. So...it looks like I will need to make a dress or a skirt and top for her.

Children's Place took care of the boys' outfits except for shoes. They both picked ties and jackets. We did give them the option of sweaters, but they wanted to dress up. Such the young gentlemen!

Ashley and Brianna can take care of themselves. Are you both reading this? You are too old for me to dress anymore. Of course, they are probably glad for this as they both claim to have been permanently warped from me dressing them in matching outfits when they were little. But they were so cute!

The only thing I know that I am wearing for sure is my new red coat that I love. I might not have anything on underneath, but I will wear that coat!

I guess I'm not very good at keeping up a blog! February was my last post? Really? OK, so I'll try to keep up a little better.

So instead of rehashing old stuff, let's just start fresh. Halloween! The costumes got finished in time. Thankfully! Grace was a mermaid. Grace has been talking about being a mermaid for months, so there was no other option.



Sorry for the red eye and blurriness. I got this new camera, and I can't find the stupid instructions. It's supposed to be better than my old camera (which someone stepped on and broke!), but I think I'm just camera illiterate.



Chelsea decided to be a lollipop and made this herself. Eric wanted to go as a cup of Starbucks coffee. So I drew the logo on posterboard and added fiberfill for the foam. So I guess he's really a latte! Fraser is a mad scientist; although, he got called a nerd and a geek. Chelsea's friend Lauren went as a Greek goddess.

Brianna and her fiancee, Michael, planned their costumes all year. They went as Max and a Wild Thing from the Maurice Sendak book, Where the Wild Things Are. They did a great job. I'm so proud!



That's it for costumes this year! Except I'm thinking about making American Indian costumes for the kids to wear to Pilgrim's Place this year. If I have time!

Off I go to plan my history and astronomy classes for tomorrow.
