ELVIS is in the house!

Happy Halloween!! As cute as Sebastian was as a little monkey last year, with Bebe in China for the better part of October, there was no way Mommy G could pull off such a major sewing project. Still wanting something home made, Mommy G bought her first glue gun, some double stick felt and velcro, 5 yards of gold rick rack and some awesome red tassels. Thank you parents magazine and the makers of glue gun for this needle free Elvis. The first few times I put the costume on Sebastian, he would whine "No no No" very pathetically and pull on the belt. Worried that we were going to have a hawaiian shirt episode (ask Mommy G or Grandpa for the story on that one) Mommy G took action and made the costume "fun" by showing him how exciting red tassels on your arm can be (you try it!). And how fun it is to slick back your hair. After a few trial runs, he even wore the belt for Halloween!! and if you ask nice, he'll say "Hound Dog"....
On a side note, apologies for the lack of postings for the last 6 weeks, besides the standard chaos our trusty camera is in the shop and we haven't been able to take any pictures!! Sebastian and Mommy G spent a lovely week up in Spokane in late September, the whole family went with Auntie Jen to a pumpkin patch (jen did take a pic of that--I'll dig it up), and lots of other things that I can't remember. Hope that camera gets fixed soon!!
