Halloween

When my mom was in town to help out with the kitchen cabinets, she lovingly agreed to help me with Dean's costume. We love Duck Dynasty in our house. So we found a beard beanie tutorial and figured out how to add on longer yarn pieces to make the beard look more like the crazy Duck Dynasty beards. We were all a little hesitant not knowing if Dean would even wear it. 

We had the stomach flu come through our house this week starting on Monday night. Dean and John got it first and we all lost plenty of sleep. On Tuesday I finally got all of the long yarn pieces strung into the beard my mom had crocheted and we tried it on Dean on Wednesday night. He hated wearing it. He bawled and bawled and bawled. 

I was very sad that this awesome costume that mom and I had spent so much time on wouldn't get used. John said he'd wear it since he tried it on and it fit! So after some tweaking, John wore it to work on Halloween. 

Unfortunately, I woke up Wednesday night with the stomach flu. I started feeling ok enough that I took Dean to John's work trick or treating, but that was the only Halloween festivities that our family participated in. Hopefully next year will be better!
