Van Helsing's Dracula and Indiana Jones Diy Costume

Here are the pictures of last year's costumes of my boys.

Erik was Dracula from Van Helsing. Yes, thats his own long hair. I made the coat, the shirt and vest and hair barrette. I bought the pants and boots at Goodwill. Mini Dracula .

Sean was Indiana Jones. I didn't make a thing for his. I bought his pants, shirt, shoes and hat

at Goodwill too. I dyed his pants and shirt. Oh, the jacket he owned already. I made his Indy bag too.

New Diapers@Erika's Chiquis

I have about ten new diapers to post if my stupid computer would upload them but the stupid thing won't. The wire in the upload part(forgot the name) broke.

I'm so tired of computer now. One just died in June and now this one won't work to put new stuff up.

So up, I had to buy a new one. A notebook one for hubby so have to wait until I get a hold of him or I mean his computer and I will have new stuff up tonight or tomorrow.

Yippee

Topsham Fair Part 2

We ended up going to the fair again.

We ate again at Bob's Famous Fries and a Cajun Food Place.

Most of the animals were gone by a few were still there including a few goats, chickens , ducks , rabbits and piglets with their big mama pig. Also, a huge boar pig that weighed like 985lbs. He was a big boy.

I also took a picture of this incredibly awesome Halloween Quilt.

It was made by Jennifer Smith of Bowdoinham. Each monster was detailed:Dracula was in a velvet suit, Wolfman had fur, The mummy had some awesome looking old cotton fabric and the headless horseman had a detailed suit on. The witch was cool too. I love this quilt and I do have more pictures to post of it soon.

Thats it for the this fair this year.

See you next year.
