Very helpful tips from a 4 year old

Yes, I'm crazy.  It's only the end of July and I'm already talking to my kids about Halloween costumes.  I wanted to get a head start in case I'd be sewing any of them.  And it's probably good that I did, because Ada has decided to be Rainbow Brite, Sammy wanted to be Super Mario, and we're going to make Evelyn Twink to go with Ada's costume.  I found a costume for Ada on Amazon for $20, Sam already has overalls and a red shirt... so we got him a red hat for $5, and I'm going to have to make Evelyn's from scratch following this blog's instructions.  The best was watching how excited my kids are to dress up.  We were trying to figure out a mustache for Sammy and Ada just lit up.  "I know Mommy!  I know what to make it with!"  She ran outside and in a few minutes comes to me with handfuls of something that very well could be a Mario mustache.  Turns out that the dog is shedding.  I tried to be nice about telling her that we couldn't use it, but in all reality... I'm pretty impressed.  I never would have thought about the dog's hair.  And it did look like a mustache already.
