Things around here are a little different and crazy at the moment (as I suppose can be expected). I was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Spencer, on the other hand, is still in the NICU.

With the weather getting a bit colder, Bridget and I venture into the mall a bit more often to play on the “ice cream.” She loves going there and usually ends up meeting new kids whom she quickly deems as her friends. A few weeks ago she met a little girl there. She asked her […]

Costumes: A breakdown of costs and materials
November 4th, 2008 · 6 Comments · a day in the life, bridget, dave, family, random, tina
A lot of people have asked me how much it cost me to make these costumes. And honestly, I hadn’t kept very good track. I went into the project estimating that it’d cost me between $300 and $400, and planning to enter as many costume contests as I could to hopefully recoup the amount I’d […]
