This year, the kids went as a popstar, a snowy owl, and Santa Claus:
Corwin's costume has real feathers on the wings, which turned out to be more work than I had anticipated in terms of getting them attached.
You can't see from this picture, but Saffron's vest has little heart-shaped sequins, and she's wearing glitter makeup.
Poor Ozzy kept eating his beard; otherwise, this was an excellent costume for Halloween. Warm, comfortable, and easy to move around in.
Sunday, we celebrated Saffron's 10th birthday. It was pretty low-key; we did an ice cream bar instead of cake, with tons of fixings. She got tons of craft things and activities like that; unfortunately, this week has been super busy, so we haven't had much time to get started on them. We also got her some disposable cameras, because she had been asking for a polaroid-type camera, but we're not sure she's responsible enough for it yet.
This is the book that goes with a sewing kit her grandma made; the rest of the pictures I have from this are all blurry, though -- kid spent a lot of time going through all the different pieces, though.
Yes, that is Christmas wrapping paper. No, you can't tell from this picture.
She was way more excited about this one than I was expecting.
This is a needle felting kit to make small animals.
Serving the birthday girl her ice cream.
You see all that pink? That's all sprinkles. O__O
