What Will She Be This Year?

With Halloween approaching we asked Freja what she wanted to be. We always try to create her costume at home. My wife actually startled me when she created a Red-kneed Tarantula, as Freja called it, "ah Wed-knead Tawantuwa," for the kid when she was three. I always knew she could sew clothing, but having been married for only four years I didn't know she could do costumes as well.At that time we were in transition from Pennsylvania to Wisconsin, so I had no hand in helping out. I was still back in our old home, renovating it so we could sell it. I would much rather have been with my family, creating the mask for the outfit, but that's life.Since then we've been working together as a team to create whatever the kid wants to be. We never know what she'll imagine. Over the years we've come to expect the unusual from her. This years request was not something specific.
