About a year ago, just before Halloween, Andro stumbled upon this article. While he often scoffs at my attempts to dress Libby up in her various costumes and outfits, even he admitted, if we had an Ewok costume, he would dress Libby up in it all the time. We have been in discussions with Mom all summer about how to make this costume. I bought a bear that we could de-construct, we had all the measurements, and we thought we were set. But a late start on Saturday meant we didn't make it to the fabric store until after it closed... (and in the south, once it's closed, it won't be open until another business day...nothing is open on Sundays)
So, Mom and I came up with an easy solution...head over to Target and pick up one of their dog costumes. We choose the turtle, below are a few photos of Libby modeling once I brought it home. I think this is her favorite costume to date, because essentially she is being encased in a comfy pillow; nothing dangling off her, no wings or extra claws to chew on.
Why did Mom and I get so easily distracted? Well...I have no answer. We both wake up early but can fill an entire day with not doing much but talking and hanging out together. It's both a blessing and a curse. We talk to each other all the time, but then every time I talk to her it feels like we haven't spoken in a week!
Andro and Daddy enjoyed a round of golf on Sunday, while Mom and I went to the movies and just walked around the downtown. On Monday, in our honor of our long-standing tradition, Mom and I went to the water park and left the boys to fend for themselves. We headed over to Jekyll Island and had a blast! It's a smaller park, but we probably rode more water slides than we ever have in our trips to Splashin' Safari, because there was no crowd. We relaxed in the lazy river, jumped in the wave pool, and just had an overall great day.
Great trip, over too soon, and of course I forgot to take any pictures...
