Tonight was the ward Trunk or Treat and because we are on the activities committee I thought we should show support and dress up. One of my wonderful sisters in law offered for us to borrow one of hers for Madi, and I have a great classic that I figured I would wear. So, I decided to go through the Halloween boxes to find something for Kevin. Well, I didn't find anything for Kevin right away, but I put a bunch of things on Madi (that's where the Devil picture came from.) Because I was having so much fun I put all kinds of thing on her, even things that didn't fit. That was the begining of my scheming. I put an adult size Raggedy Ann wig on her and she looked SO cute. (Like a red hear cabbage patch doll.) So them I kept digging and found a Raggedy Andy wig. BINGO! I rummaged up some clothes that we already had and we became the Raggedy Family. We ended up getting awarded best costume at the Trunk or Treat (just because we have the cutest baby!)
And, a side story... Shout out to the AMAZING MAMA of mine who made this Raggedy Ann costume I am wearing. When she was in high school she made this costume for a work party (circa 1978) . Since that time, my brother wore it in high school, I wore it in high school and then when I left for college I stole it. I have worn it every Halloween since 2003. Ghetto, I know. But at least I get dressed up, I bet that's better than most of you! So that's the fun of this costume. Oh, and just to reward you for this extra credit reading that you did, here is another cute picture of Madi. I just can't get enough.
