This year I made Ari's costume. Not because I love sewing or because I am even good at it, but because we all know I aspire to someday be as beautiful and talented as my sister Stephanie. She is a mother, crafter, a seamstress, a photographer, a restorer of all wood things, a jeweler, a blogger, a baker, a baby shoemaker, I could go on. In a nutshell, she is Amazing! I love her! Stephanie always makes the cutest costumes for her 3 kids and I decided to try it this year.
Finding the right costume to make for My Boy was not hard, although my first thought was to make him a mummy, it just didn't fit. The only other costume that fits with a nickname like Bubba was a Football player. It was perfect for his chubby stubby legs and broad shoulders (don't worry Bubba, you'll grow). He looked so cute!
It took me about 5 min to get to pants from the thrift store and get shoulder pads for stuffing but the jersey was harder than I thought, it took me about 12 hours to make it, but it turned out pretty good (so says the amateur seamstress).
Since more time was put into this costume than I do into my blog, I had to find every opportunity for Ari to wear it. The following were taken over a three-day span, he even slept in the thing! But of course, he totally rocked it!
Touch Down!
Total Meltdown When I Took His Bag of Candy
He was so tired, he fell asleep!
