$6 and 2 hours later....

Two hours of my life and I have been given this smile. Lucas wanted a Native American costume to wear for his Thanksgiving feast at school. We discussed some ideas. This is the result. It only took 2 hours and cost about $6. Lucas helped with the painting which took the longest. I was going to pair the top with jeans when I was informed at 9 pm that Indians do not wear jeans. So while my 4 dozen corn bread muffins were baking (12 at a time!) I whipped up the cutest little pants. This by far has been one of favorite of all our creations. He was such a big hit at school. Of course he and Melia were the only 2 in costume. I am hoping to get a little shoot of them together if their costumes survive the weekend!!! I am hoping to get a decent shoot of Lucas this weekend. I was so rushed this morning and could not join them for their feast these are not the greatest pictures but better than nothing! I did leave work a bit early but did not make it in time, so we came home and made terrible cookies and jello before running some errands. i think with 3 people making one batch of cookies the dough gets a little tired. So for 2 hours and $6 this is what we made. For this joy I would have paid a lot more and spent a million hours. He is sooo happy wearing this costume.
I will probably do a re-post of some of these pics once I have time to work with them. They really make me smile! I was so anxious to post them.
