I started thinking about Halloween after reading She's So Unusual and well, I thought I'd talk a bit about it. For the past six years or so, my husband and his good friend have entered a local radio station's Halloween Parade. First year it was The Wizard of Oz, then Star Wars, Superheros, and then Scooby Doo. A few years back we did Gilligan's Island (I got to be Mary Ann!) and then last year we made a Nightmare Before Christmas float (I got to be Sally!). We usually start working the first of October and by the 31st, we've got a full on float and fun costumes.

This year we've decided to do a Super Mario Bros. theme. We haven't even drawn the layout but we've talked about big yellow blocks with question marks, some Koopa Troopas (the turtles), and definitely some mushrooms! It's going to be interesting trying to sew up the Princess' dress. I love Fall!
