Claire was a pink parrot for her first Halloween. It was Grace's special request since Grace wanted to be a pirate and every pirate needs a parrot. And if you're a pirate princess like Grace, not any parrot will do. It MUST be a pink parrot.
So I scoured the internet for a pink parrot costume that I could buy. No luck. Next I searched Etsy. Too expensive. Finally I went through Pinterest for ideas on how to make one. I compiled a few ideas and gathered my materials.
That was about a month ago. I started on her costume the day before Halloween. Nothing like some good old procrastination.
I finished the costume by powering through a crying baby during the day and staying up until two in the morning. Considering Claire only wore the costume for a total of about fifteen minutes and could not have cared less what I put her in, I felt a little crazy for going through all the trouble.
But Grace was ecstatic that she had her pink parrot sidekick. And that parrot was pretty darn cute, so in the end, I guess it was worth it after all.

Getting ready to start on the parrot costume with my two 'helpers'. |

This little 'helper' didn't enjoy that I was preoccupied with her costume and couldn't hold her all day long. |

My Pirate Princess only trick-or-treated for half an hour before calling it quits. |

Happy Halloween! |
