The holiday season in our house begins in September, when I start making our Halloween costumes. I like to sew my own, because, as we all know, store-bought costumes tend to be flimsy and scratchy! By now my kids know that they can request the most random costume desire and I can make it happen. I love that I can do that for my kids! I might not excel in other areas of motherhood, but my kids will be randomly awesome every Halloween!
Does anyone in your house play Pokemon Go? They'll recognize big sister's costume right away. She randomly requested Vaporeon. *Nailed it!* Big brother is a little easier to recognize.

You know what else is really fun? Of course you do. Carving pumpkins!!! The one at the top was a scary face my husband carved, that big brother requested. For the other, we had big sister draw a cute face, and he did his best to preserve the integrity of her drawing. Awww. I recommend you try this one yourself. Kids have great imaginations and their drawings are so fresh and sincere.
Out of all the random requests your children/ siblings/friends make of you, which ones are you happy to oblige? This is a good place to look when you are trying to discover a creative outlet.
