Halloween Costumes

Purple Ballet Cat : let's be real though. She is a purple ballet cat every day. (Even without the ears and tutu)

Pooh Bear: Sometimes an idea so adorable convinces you to make an effort on making your infant a Halloween costume. Sometimes that requires same day craftiness.

Contraptions

Ella watches a TV show called Creative Galaxy.  In one episode they make a contraption. She saw this very close to an episode of Mr Rogers Neighborhood where where they had a cool domino tip. And from this, Ella's contraptions were born.
