I love my children.  Absolutely and without question.  I would do anything for them.  And when E’s teacher asked me to help with the Rabbit Costumes for E’s school play I couldn’t say yes fast enough.

And then suddenly I was also doing the foxes, the bears, and the pigs;  totaling 20 costumes.

With headpieces.

That have ears.  EARS, people.  Ears that need to STAND UP.  Do you know how hard it is to get sewn rabbit ears to actually stand up?  It is hard. Very hard.  And I have 20 of these to make.  That’s 40 ears that all need to stand up.

And then there is the fabric.

No, I haven’t slaughtered animals in my living room.   Although it gave my husband a start when he came home.

And this herd of indistinct faux animal furs will magically be fashioned into 5 rabbits, 5 foxes, 5 bears, and 5 pigs by next week.

With hoods.

With ears. 

…… pray for me…..
