I think with a new baby in the family holidays are all the more fun.  Do you know how much fun can be had with a baby and a pumpkin hat?    My daughter works at a lunch counter which is known for it's hot dogs.  So it made this costume all the better.  

I even got a bit of sewing done last week!  Just some blocks for Margaret's Hope Chest. But it feels so good to sit and sew even if just for a few minutes each day.
