For about a month prior to Halloween I tried to convince her to be a princess, fairy, bride, even a super hero all in an effort to be able to buy a costume. You see, little girl Poison Ivy costumes do not exist! She had her heart set on the super villian so I turned my efforts to making a costume. Now, I am no seamstress but I do think I am somewhat creative but this was a big undertaking for me. I was able to use my Cricut to make leaves and then I strung them on twine and tacked them to a skirt and shirt. Mimi and Pop Pop bought the pink wig and we added some green lipstick and ivy to her face. I think I actually pulled it off and I was very proud when two people knew who she was!
We trick-or-treated in Bunnie and Coach's neighborhood that way we could leave C&J with them and go just the three of us! We had a great time and now I feel a little more confident with the thought of possibly having to make 3 Halloween costumes next year, although I am still going to push for store bought ones!
