the wonderful Wizard of Oz. It's okay you can keep singing it if you would like. Grace and I have. This year Grace went as Dorthy and Kohen was the Cowardly Lion. I have to first give a huge THANK YOU to my wonderful sis in law who made Grace's dress. Mindy you are amazing. She made her dress from start to finish in about 3 hours. I think it would have taken me that long just to figure out how the sewing machine turned on. I'm what some people might call "domestically challenged." I never learned to sew, knit, quilt or cook. I am getting better at the cooking though. Back to the costumes. I have to say that I love a good bargain. I don't like spending too much money on Halloween costumes, seeing how it is my least favorite holiday. I needed to find a white button up shirt for Grace and couldn't find one anywhere so I thought I would hit the D.I. (a second hand store for my readers who aren't from Utah). Not only did I find a perfect white shirt but I found a slip and Toto's basket.
Basket for Toto: .50 cents (dog not included, we already had one)
Fluffy slip: $3.00
White blouse: $4.00
Fabric for dress: $5.00
Shoes: $12.00 (my only splurge)
The Best Dorthy Costume Ever: Priceless
(I know I'm cheesy, but it's getting late and I tired)
Kohen's was too cute for words. I had to splurge and get his.

LOVE the cute costumes! Cutest Dorothy & Cowardly Lion EVER! :) Good work on the bargain costume. I have to say I'm domestically challenged as well. Good thing Ben knows how to cook and there are plenty of stores for clothes.
Your kids are too cute for words!! I love Dorothy....You should have let me know you were thinking of this costume....we have one from 2 years ago.
