Little Raccoon/Pieni pesukarhu

Little Miss had a Halloween party at the library yesterday. We've known about the party (and Halloween) for a little while now, but didn't have any costume ideas. We have some assorted costumes from Missy & the brothers, but yes - everything is packed in boxes, stored in my in-law's basement. No worries though - Missy is super creative and a great big sister!

Without instructions, using only a stuffed animal raccoon as a model, this is what Missy created with some face paint, grey clothes, a sock & a headband. Well done, Missy!!

And as the cute little raccoon requested: a group picture was taken before we left for the library.
(Mommy fail - I forgot to take pictures at the library!)

Meiltä löytyi eilen suloinen pieni pesukarhu. Pikkuneidillä oli kirjastossa Halloween-juhla, ja vaikka kaikki naamiaisasumme ovat laatikoissa anoppilan kellarissa, kekseliäs ja ihana isosisko Missy laittoi kokoon tämän asun, sekä maalasi Pikkuneidin kasvot. Äiti unohti ottaa kirjastossa kuvia, mutta Pikkuneidin pyynnöstä saimme sentään ryhmäkuvan sisaruksista.

  2. Me again! LOL

    No snow! But it was SO cold today with the wind! I still feel "chapped"! LOL

    I *think* we're in the 4-8 snow total band right now. ((sigh)) I was hoping it would wait until December. It will be pretty though! LOL

  3. Oh goodness! So cute! :) My son now just throws on cammo pants and a cammo shirt, grabs a Nerf dart gun and calls himself a soldier. Sigh...I miss the days when he liked to really dress up and get creative!

  5. Thanks, Jessy! We were thinking of driving to Southern Maine & NH this weekend, but decided to stay put :)
    We'd usually welcome the snow with open arms (October or not), but not this year - we need a roof over our camp kitchen first!!

    Thank you, Malea!!! I think one of my sons is going to be a soldier - we can do that costume too :)

    Thanks, viluinen & Anna!!

  11. No Greater Love - good luck with the costumes!! It makes me feel better to know I'm not the only procrastinator :)

    Thank you, Cedar, Nurkkalintu & Jennifer!

    Ellie A - it was perfect snowball snow here today, the kids enjoyed it until their clothes got wet. I have to try to remember where I've packed the snow gear.. We have some up here, but not everything.
