this wasn't in the plan |but life is still pretty good

This is John, Paul, George, and Ringo. Collectively known as The Beatles and this year's Halloween costume of choice for the boys in my house.

I sewed jackets and pants for the older boys (The Tall One already has a John Lennon costume), but didn't want to mess with making a tiny version for the baby. He's going to be Ringo (over there on the left), so I thought I'd just pick up a pink onesie and some pink pants to embellish. Easy enough, right? Except for the fact that I could not find just a solid pink outfit. Then I thought, he has a red shirt and red pants, what would happen if I bleached them?


It's more tye-dyed looking than we would have liked, and they are two different shades (but they started out that way, so it would have been hard to match them), but I think it will work just fine for a five month old who will probably be squished into his carseat the entire time he's wearing it! Now it just needs some ribbon and buttons and whatnot and we're good to go!

Sometimes a bit of creative thinking can really help when it comes to saving money!
