But, I also have memories of a year with a plastic Casper the Ghost mask and a year with plastic Holly Hobbie. I love the plastic memories almost as much as the handmade ones. Last weekend we went to Target and stood in the Valentine aisle and spent time ogling over all of the characters until Zoe picked the Madagascar Penguins. She picked out pink heart lollipops to attached to the cards. I sat and spent the time writing each friend's name so she could copy the letters in her scrawling 4 year old handwriting. I'm definitely a mom who will rarely (if ever) go the handmade route. That doesn't mean I can't spend the time. I just choose to spend it differently! : ) Handmade is fabulous… and I have memories of my mom making us a couple Halloween costumes.

My son is 13 months and I already know I don't have what it takes to attempt a handmade costume. I'm hoping he'll forgive me. What a sweet entry.
