I know this is sad, but we lost the card with our Halloween pictures. But don't cry for me, Argentina, we found it. So here's the dealio: Anders had been talking about being Aang from "Avatar The Last Airbender" since Halloween 2009. In Spring 2010, he was still talking about it. "Sure, Anders, you can be Aang. No prob. Suuuuuurrrrrre." All of a sudden, it was October, and Anders still wanted to be Aang. I was looking at some pictures online to see what I was up against costume-wise. Addie saw some of the pictures, which had Aang's friend (girlfriend- but don't tell Anders and Addie that) Katara in them. Suddenly she wanted to be Katara and nothing else.
Yippee. Mommy gets to sew. I made Addie's costume during the day before our ward Halloween party. It went fairly well. I didn't swear at all, but it wiped me out. I asked Nils if he could try to pull a little something together for Anders' costume. I was really just thinking of the orange cape and we'd find a yellow shirt and some pants- then we'd shave his head and draw an arrow on it, and we'd be good. (Yes, we did shave his head just for this.)
Never underestimate the power of Nils. He stayed up all night and sewed a costume for his boy. That is love. And there I was, feeling all good about myself for sewing Addie's, and along comes Nils and totally shows me up. The man didn't even have a pattern. Sheesh. The good news: I know who's sewing Halloween costumes from now on.

That is awesome. I've never heard of those characters but they look just like them! Nice work guys! I think Nils made a mistake though. After sewing costumes for his daughter's dance concerts, halloweens, plays, dress ups, etc. He will rue the day he whipped out that beauty.
how does Nils know how to sew?
A husband that sews.......keep that one!
