Dorothy and Toto

Last Halloween, Goldilocks was really excited to finally have a little dog to share it with, and so Mama, Papa, and Goldie put their heads together to come up with a costume that would include Fudgie in some way. Many ideas came to mind, but the one that stuck the longest was Dorothy and Toto! There was a BIG family Halloween party on Mama's side of the family, so it was a perfect year to really dress up! Mama went to the local fabric shop and found a pattern and materials, and went to work on Goldie's dress. Of course, Mama did not have a lot of time, and finished it within hours of leaving for the party. Mama dressed up as Auntie Em (pictures of Auntie Em will most likely NOT be shown!) and Papa dressed up as the scarecrow. AND of course Goldie and Fudgie were Dorothy and Toto. Needless to say, they (Dorothy and Toto) were the hit of the party!








Then, Mama got one of her "brilliant" ideas, and decided that it would be fun to take some pictures for the family Christmas Card. The neighbor across the street kindly agreed and took some beautiful pictures of Dorothy and Toto. The Christmas card was a hit and read, "There's no place like home for the holidays!"
The Dorothy costume did not stop there! It was worn for a violin group class held on Halloween, and also for the "Babes in Mendon Toyland" production at Christmastime. Mama Bear feels very justified with all the work that went into that costume after it had been put to good use. Next year may not be so fancy.
