pippi and mr. skeleton boy

(costume details: wig, pinafore, and bags made by me, green t-shirt thrifted, skeleton costume,pippi's socks and boots- Target)

i love making costumes for these guys, but his year julian broke my heart and really wanted this store bought costume.  ugh!! i had to ask myself if this is really about me or them?...  julian got a store bought one, but it was super painful for me to buy it.  i still have hopes for next year and the years to come.

ella is the one with big plans and her confidence in me and what i can make is just a little too much.  her first choice for a costume this year was an ostrich....what?!! right?  i love her creativity, but WHAT?  she is just way too funny and quirky...hey that sounds just like a little girl named pippi.  

i was finally able to drop enough hints and get her convinced that she really would make a great pippi.

she is just like pippi in so many ways. 

 if you haven't seen any pippi movies in a while, do it...she is pretty entertaining!

next year i want to plan something for all of us to wear like when most of us were the little rascals.

i better start planning now!
