Alter Egos

We had quite the motley crew tonight:

An elephant…

A flamingo princess…

(The princess part was essential to the costume. When people asked if she was a flamingo, Rae said, “No. A flamingo princess.”)

Pippi…

And a very cuddly teddy bear…

Tonight was fun. Now the kids are all passed out with sugar comas. I should be passed out, too, and will be soon.

Stay tuned for the kids’ saintly ensembles. We’re very much looking forward to hosting an All Saints’ Party at our digs this Friday.

A happy Feast of All Saints to you tomorrow!

    Oh too cute. Love the Pippi braids and the flamingo princess especially. Maybe next year we’ll actually swing saints as well as Halloween. Of parish even lets the kids wear saints costumes to Mass but I have a hard time doing one costume much less two.

    I’ve had a few folks ask me how we got Pippi’s hair to stand up. We just used a coat hanger wire. It was really quite easy!

Hi, I’m Kate

 

I'm the author of two nonfiction books Getting Past Perfect and Weightless, a storyteller*, overthinker, eating disorder survivor, mom of five, book junkie, socially awkward nerd as well as a speaker (so basically a walking and talking contradiction), and a perfectionist in recovery.

I am currently working towards my MFA in Fiction at Warren Wilson. Thank you to everyone who has read my drafts, offered feedback, and cheered me on. The writing life is often solitary, but I wouldn’t be here without a community of support.
