Finished Ms. Frizzle Costume!

I was too lazy to sew in a collar, so I made a scoop neck dress, and put a collared shirt underneath! Halloween is fun when you're a teacher! It's also challenging to find a costume that is not totally inappropriate, so I have to be creative. Last year, it was Pippy Longstocking.

They say happy children live in messy houses, or something like that, but what about happy moms? I can't stand my house being in this state! Let me just illustrate this point by posting an embarrassing photo of my kitchen as it stands at this very moment. After one long week, and many bottles of wine, this is what I am faced with. And now I am on spring break! Which is wonderful because I get to hang out with Charlie. But I also have to sit in my messy house because Charlie doesn't nap and I c
