Hands Free Halloween and Pumpkin Carving Alternatives

How to make a hands free halloween costume with minimal sewing:

1. Cut a piece of brown fleece large enough to tuck around the baby carrier

2. Cut small green rectangles out of the green fleece and small circles from the brown

3. Draw "$" symbols on the circles with a marker

4. Tack dollars onto brown fleece and baby hat (glue would work too)

5. Adult dresses in all black

6. Place baby safely in the carrier

7. Tuck completed brown fleece around the baby and carrier

So some families may have traditions of carving pumpkins, however Delia learned this year that her Mama prefers to bake the pumpkins. First the little pumpkins posed together for a Kodak moment with Delia in her Halloween onsie. Here's a link to the pumpkin muffins Mama made for the second year in a row (last year Delia craved them in utero). Yum!
