For John's, we bought black canvas, and I sewed a vest for him. He also found the perfect pants at DI, and we attached a red ribbon down both legs. Then, we altered a white turtle neck to make a V neck, and dyed it with Postum. We had a lot of fun making these.
*************************
Bad news: I had a really bad cough yesterday, and mucus... well, I won't get into that. Only old people talk about their ailments in detail to everyone that will listen. So I didn't go to church. Then I went to Spanish this morning, and felt way worse. So I took a trip to the Urgent Care. And I found out that I have Bronchitis! No wonder I couldn't stop coughing!
Good news: The doctor wrote me a note for work getting me off for the rest of the week, so I have written proof that I am sick. I feel better about not going in now.
Bad news: I'm not contagious! Dang it. The best part about being sick is spreading the fun to other people!
Good news: It's not Swine Flu!!!
Bad news: My cough is going to last for at least 3 weeks.
Good news: The coolest part about Bronchitis is that it sounds like a dinosaur name. Rawr!!!
Bad news: John has a concert tomorrow, and I'll be quite a distraction coughing every 10 seconds. But I refuse to miss it.
Good news: I'm getting quite the ab workout. I'll have a six pack by the time I'm done with this.
Quote of the Day:
John: "I love my mom."
Me: "I love my mom, too. Except when she gives me stupid advice like pouring water up my nose."

:( no sick
I assumed John's costume was store-bought too. Way to go on the alterations! Especially all the spray painting :) Sorry you're feeling sick; bronchitis is the pits and it hangs around too long. Did your mom tell you to use a neti pot (was that the water up the nose comment?) Because I have one and I swear by it. They're great for getting all the congestion out.
Awwww! You love your mom and she loves you two too! :D FYI, Dad also prescribes nasal washes, but he has a recipe to make saline, so the wash doesn't sting your nose so much.
Hope you are feeling better, Allie!
Love you!
PS: The costumes rocked!! :D
