Happy Halloween...

... from the marvelous marsupials!

I took inspiration for this year's costume from the wonderful Moby wrap, where Cora loves to ride along in her little "pouch." From there, it was just a matter of sewing some ears out of craft felt (though I'd make mine shorter if I had it to do over... they got a little droopy), finding a brown hoodie for Cora, and wrapping the Moby so that I had a long "tail." My first idea for a pouch to hide Cora's feet didn't work out so well, so I ended up tying on an apron and calling us Kanga and Roo.

We helped hand out candy at the Teacup--Cora had a lot of fun (for a while) looking at all the other little kids in costume, waving enthusiastically at the passersby, and being her usual charming self.

All in all, a successful first Halloween!
