October

I love October. It is BY FAR my favorite month of the year. I love the weather (even though I complain of being chilly), I love dragging my long-sleeve tees, sweaters, long pants, and knitted socks out of storage, I love not sweating all the time, being able to go outside without being swarmed by bugs and the changing of the leaves. Oh and FOOTBALL!!! Go Pats!
.
But, most of all....I LOVE Halloween!!!!
.
Currently, Isabella wants to dress up like a mermaid. Well, TODAY, she wants to dress up like a mermaid. She switches between a mermaid, a fairy, a princess, and a tiger (the tiger doesn't really fit in with her whole mystical creature theme, but hey! she's a quirky kid). This will be her 4th Halloween and every year thus far I have purchased her costume...not because I'm too lazy to make one but because I have found the BEST deals on costumes for her at a great store here in Maine called Mardens :) She has dressed as a Bumblebee, Tinkerbell, and a Flamingo...but this year, well, this year might be the year I make her costume. Yipe!
.
But, before I begin...I'm heading to Mardens this week...who knows? She might see something she wants....and, since I haven't spent more than 8 bucks on a costume so far, it's worth looking since it will be cheaper and easier to BUY! rather than make her costume.

In the meantime, I will enjoy the weather, watching the Patriots this weekend and, hopefully, visiting Ellie at some point too!!!
