Halloween 2009


SANITY SUCKING PROJECT STATS:

Total trips to Joanns for Jayhawk costume making needs: 4
Total time spent hand sewing Big Jay and Baby Jay: 17 hours
Total meltdowns by me: 2
Amount of time it took Talan to work up the courage to put on his costume: 3 days
Total attempts to get the snug costume off Talan's chubby body: 5



I always have good intentions, thinking to myself it will be easier and cheaper to make their costumes than surf the net to find one. This year Ashton wanted to have a coordinating costume with Talan. We ended up coming up with Big Jay and Baby Jay (the KU Jayhawk mascots). I don't like when the boys are wearing a costume that someone else is wearing. We scored a point on that one because we spotted no other Jayhawks, and it did work to their advantage when ringing the bell of a fellow Jayhawk fan. Extra candy is awesome! Even so, I vow never to make a halloween costume ever again.
