Friday's Photo Finish Fiesta (Happy Halloween)

Join in the fun for Candid Carrie's Phriday's Photo Phinish Phiesta....




This weeks photo's are all about Halloween and I promised everyone that I would post pictures of my costumes. As you know if you read my post earlier this week about my Halloween Costume Crisis you know that I foolishly told my son we would make a Sponge Bob costume. Crafty I am not, detailed I am not, patient with crafty things I am not. So why I ever said we would make a costume is beyond me.

I went shopping with Luke yesterday and we bought everything to make the costume. My husband didn’t want me to do it with out his help. He is an Engineer and he is very meticulous about things. Again, foolishly I agreed to wait until he got home so we could make this costume.

Well instantly we are not getting along because everything I cut out is not good enough. I will admit it wasn’t perfect but Luke is 5 and he isn’t going to care. Mr. Engineer has his rulers, tape measures and templates for everything and this was no exception.

Well by 11:15 I had my fill of the “that doesn’t look good” or “do it this way” so I went to bed. I thought Luke can be the Transformer that I bought because I can’t deal with this anymore.

Again, patient I am not. 3:00A.M. and my husband still have not come to bed. I go down stairs and he is still working on this costume but was almost finished.

All I can say is WOW…. He did an amazing job and did so much better than I ever would have done. So I give my husband all the credit here for giving Luke such a great costume. Hubby got 2 hours of sleep Wednesday night before getting up and going to work in the morning.

Now I feel guilty for letting him do this great costume all on his own and staying up so late. I guess I should be thankful my husband loves his kids so much and is always willing to go that extra mile for them.

Your husband did an amazing job on the costume. I am an engineer (before kids)and my husband is an engineer. So I totally get the rulers, etc. It's how we roll;)
