This Halloween Rachel had her heart set on being Belle...again. I made this costume for her last Halloween and I honestly couldn't be more pleased that she wanted to wear it again.
Rachel also had something in mind for her brother. She thought it would be great if she were Belle and Toby was the Beast. I did attempt to find a lion costume that I thought we might be able to pass for the Beast, but unfortunately it was way too big. It should fit him next year though. So who knows, maybe the Belle dress will fit Rachel one more year and she could have all of her fairy tale dreams come true. As for this year we had to settle for a little stinker!
You have to say that as far as skunks go, Toby makes a very cute one!
This next picture of Toby was taken at the moment that someone smiled at him. He does this a lot! When someone smiles at him he pretends to be bashful and ducks his head, with a big grin on his face. He thinks he's pretty charming!
Finally I thought it would be fun to post a picture of Rachel from last year...
And compare it to this year. I can't believe how much she has grown up.

Oh, they look so cute. Thanks for posting the picture of Toby the Skunk. I love it. :)
That dress is amazing! I love the skunk idea also. Too funny!
Can I just say how lucky Rachel is to have you for her mom? My kids will not have such elegant and original Halloween costumes :) I can't believe how cute Toby is! I can't wait to see you all in a couple weeks :)
Gorgeous dress, gorgeous girl and a really, really cute skunk.
I saw these when you posted them, but didn't take the minute to post anything. I wanted to because Wow are you an amazing seamstress and the kids look so darling. I saw Rachel in her costume on another blog before this one and was sure that you had made that masterpiece. Have a great 2009!
Hey, I found your blog via Sarah's, wha ha ha!! I'll be stalking you...;)
I am, as usual, utterly impressed. I didn't realize you made that dress for her. But, I guess I'm not surprised. It's just a very small, yellow version of a wedding dress.
Toby's hair looks so blonde in those pictures on the sidebar. He's quite the handsome little man! Rachel is growing up so much. The video on Jessica's blog almost made me cry, I miss you guys so much!

Seriously, you two are the cutest parents ever! Maybe it's because I knew you both before you became parents, but I wish I could just peek in on you and watch all the fun you must be having with your family!
