The Friday before Halloween was the day when everyone was allowed to wear their costumes to school. But there was a caveat...it had to be a book character- to coincide with the Read-A-Thon. At the eleventh hour (literally) I decided to go as Skippyjon Jones. For anyone who is unfamiliar with Skippyjon Jones, I recommend reading one of his books. They are HILARIOUS! They are about a siamese cat who wants to be a chihuahua. Skippito is his alter-ego.
Anyway, here is my Skippito costume. Yes, I made it all.
I totally loved my costume!! I even was asked to pose for several pictures by complete strangers!
Minnie Mouse
A purple butterfly.
Phantom of the Opera
What a motley crew we make. The musketeer is my cousin Denali.
I suffer from the syndrome of wanting to do as many things as possible at all times. I love being busy and having things to do. Unfortunately, then I stress over it all. My Halloween weekend was no exception.
Friday- #1 6:00pm Trunk or Treat at the girls' daycare.
#2 7:00pm Surprise birthday party for a close friend's daughter. I was in charge of getting her other
3 kids to the party on time. Notice the time crunch. Insert stresser.
Saturday- #3 8:00am (actuality-9:30am) drive to Tucson to visit Zia and the rest of Gina's family. Then
drive to Sierra Vista.
#4 6:00pm Trunk or Treat
10:00pm - depart Sierra Vista to drive home (3 hour drive)
Sunday- #5 9:00am Sunday School and Church (honestly, I skipped SS so I could sleep)
#6 4:00pm Costume parade
#7 5:00pm insert a wee bit of trick or treating
#8 6:00pm - game night at friend's house.
Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday- sleep. Decompress. Swear I will never do 3 days of Halloween again. Remind me of this next year, please.

Dayna-I regret to inform you that you will do it again next year and the year after that and the year after that...but I bet Gramma Lucy was so excited to see you and the kiddos. Jill
And I love your Skippy Jon Jones costume-could you make a guest appearance in my classroom. Jill
