getting ready for halloween

Grandma and I went to JoAnne's yesterday to scout out options for Sophie's Halloween costume, and after searching the entire store to find the Halloween-themed fabric in the very back (with the Christmas stuff in front - what?), Sophie has a very cute Halloween costume in the works.

She's going to be a cat.

With black tights and a stuffed black tail attached... and a Halloween-print jumper with a black turtleneck. We found a pair of clip-on cat ears, but of course little miss contrary won't keep them on, so I guess we'll just have to pretend that she has ears.

And of course we'll have to paint whiskers on her face and everything.

I can't wait!

I love Halloween. It's most definitely the best holiday.
