'Twas the night before Halloween, and all through the house, not a creature was stirring,
Except the sewing machine whirring!
Why, oh why, did I agree to make one of my children's Halloween costumes again this year?
Didn't I learn my lesson with the Dorothy costume a couple years ago? Store-bought costumes are GOOD. Store-bought costumes are my friends!
Why did I put off so much of the project until the last minute?
And why was I so overconfident that I could easily sew together a Laura Ingalls costume? Turns out those Little House on the Prairie dresses are not as simple as they appear!
Also, there's the little issue that we have no Halloween candy!
The fair-trade, no child-slaves were used in the making of them, chocolates I ordered over the Internet have not yet arrived! So, it's looking like we'll be the lame-o house giving out raisins and pencils!
Those Little House on the Prairie women did have it easier without Halloween to worry about. No rain for the crops and fires in the barn seem like much more preferable worries at the moment!
