I'd like to tell you I intentionally waited three weeks to post Morgan's pictures from Halloween but I would be lying. I actually forgot about Halloween right about the time I ate Morgan's last bag of M&Ms and hadn't thought about it since.
Halloween was different this year for two reasons. One, it was the first year I didn't buy Morgan a costume that was some pre-made fabric tube with fur and a tail (which you can see here, here, and here). Two, I decided to let Morgan pick her own costume with only a moderate amount of strong arming on my part.
Me: Morgan, what do you want to be for Halloween?
Morgan: A princess.
Me: I hate princesses. Everyone is a princess. Can we pick something a little more creative?
Morgan: Fine, I'll be a ballerina.
Me: Morgan, the point of a costume is to be something different than you are in real life. You take ballet. You're already a dancer.
Morgan: Mom, you can't make this decision for me.
Ballerina= 1 Mom=0
Once I admitted defeat, I was hell bent on giving her costume a little homemade flair. Since I don't know how to sew, my options were limited. However, with a little bit of help from Pinterest, I was able to tie the shit out of some tulle.
Yeah, I rocked it. Next year I might even break out the hot glue gun.
