I thought John would capture a full-body shot of my fabulous self in an orange pindot polyester leisure suit. Can you believe he only got this?

 |
| From left: Mary (of Mary Had a Little Lamb) not to be confused with Little Bo-Peep (you can see she still has her sheep, right?) Jaguar (she refused the elephant costume I had planned, but the jaguar fit. Who am I to argue?) She-Ra (store-bought costume not available since 1985, so this is what we put together on our own) |

| Close up on the Princess of Power. Check out those sassy hips. |

| This costume was sewn in 2004 for Olivia. As I was re-examining it this year, I was quite pleased with all the progress I've made in my sewing since then. |
 |
| We broke the plastic outdoor candy cane we had planned to use for a shepherd's crook, and drama ensued. John came to the rescue with this pipe-insulation substitute. And then Olivia refused to use it at the Trunk-or-Treat because she was sure people would think she was Bo Peep if she had a crook. At the end of the evening, she indignantly proclaimed, "I didn't even carry my stick, and they still thought I was Little Bo Peep." |

I was in awe of your sewing skills in 2004, and I'm still in awe in 2010. That Mary costume is fantastic! And She-Ra? Awesome. (Although the hips really do make it -- good work Mimikins.) I want to kiss that little Lamb. And Bella? I'll just take her home with me right now.
You've done Halloween proud Wells Family. :)
I'm now curious to see your full-body shot of the leisure suit. I was sad not to see that little elephant costume--we love that one! Your girls are darling and I would expect nothing else but sass from Mimi.
I can't get over Mimi's posing. I just love the attitude.
Can you visit Toledo when Daph starts demanding custom Halloween ensembles?
Your girls all looked so cute! I love Mimi's sassiness. I thought Olivia made a great Mary- my girls knew who she was if that makes her feel any better. :) Chloe told me today while we were at Hobby Lobby looking at fabric, "I want Mimi's mom to make me a dress out of all this fabric!" I might have to take lessons from you, or better yet, just hire you!
