Careful followers of this here blog will remember that a few posts back I mentioned that Kaytin was going to be Tinkerbell for Halloween. Well, for some reason, in my sleep-deprived haze, I never tried the costume on her once we got it in the mail. Around rolls Halloween morning and I think to myself, hmm...maybe we should open that costume up and see how it looks. Much to my chagrin, it was SUPER small!! It fit, but barely covered up her booty and she kept saying, "mommy, its hurting my tummy, its soo itchy!" Woops! While my mind raced with panic thinking I'd have to run to Lihue and scavenge through whatever was left to find my poor baby girl a costume for that very same evening, a light bulb flashed and I remebered that she had recently come into a huge bag of dress up dresses from her cousin, Anna, who just so loves to be a princess. Found the above which worked like a charm and she still got to wear her Tink wings. (which is the only thing she wanted in the first place.) Phew...crisis averted.

I believe its called a power loader or something to that effect. It was quite the contraption and all made out of the styrofoam stuff that protects your computer while its being shipped to you. Pretty crazy. After Halloween I'm always left in awe of my husband, who can make costumes himself spending less than $10. What a guy.
It took me forever to decide what I wanted to be and finally came up with this:
