This is why I hate laundry

Remember this sweater Carolyn wore with her Halloween costume?


Remember my old Halloween costume?


This is what happens when you wash them together.

Lots of other clothes came out with a blue tinge, but the weirdest was one of Blake's jackets.


I'm not quite sure how the blue dye only interacted with his pockets and not all the other yellow, but now he has a one of a kind Jordan jacket.

Halloween: 1993 style

In 6th grade, my friends and I decided to make our Halloween costumes. I will admit my memory is hazy, but for sure I know that Megan was involved, and I think an Emily. There might have even been 4 of us. I can't completely remember. But mine was blue, there was a pink one, and I think a yellow one. I don't even know what we thought we were. Besides awesome, because obviously, this was the best costume ever. I assume our mothers helped make these for us because I couldn't sew when I was 11 years old.

Months ago, my mom said she found it and asked if I wanted it. I told her yes then forgot about it. Today it arrived in the mail.



This is Carolyn trying out what must've been the most awesome thing in 1993. She's a little lost in all the fabric.


Amazingly, I managed to wiggle into it. The fabric is voluminous, but the hole in the bottom to get in is not.

I love blasts from the past that remind of good times. It looks like Carolyn will be able to create new memories with it. If her giggling is any indication, she loves it.

For cuteness' sake
