Halloween

Sage went trick-or-treating last night, though she didn't carry a little pumpkin, or anything. We figured that would just be silly, since she wasn't going to eat any candy. She did get one piece from a family who seemed intent on giving her some, and she chewed on the wrapper all the way home. We went along with our friends Bill and Jen and their son, Tyler, who was collecting candy dressed as Spider Man. Here is a picture of Sage in her Halloween costume:


Oh wait, that's a real diamondbank terrapin. Here's Sage:


I spent an inordinate amount of time making her costume--especially since very few people actually saw it, and it was dark. I made the shell so that it could either go on the mei tai carrier or directly on her body. Here's a close-up of the shell in better light:

It's made of three layers of fleece painted with fabric paint. I'm hoping she can use it for dress-up when she gets older. I spent way too much time on it for it to be a one-use-wonder. It was a fun night, though! I wish I'd gotten a picture of Sage and Tyler together. Ah well, there's always next year, right Bill and Jen? ;-)
