This year Trevor decided to reuse Allison's leopard costume from several years ago. We still had the top, but the day before yesterday's school parade, we discovered we were missing the cylinders of fabric I'd originally pinned on to Allison's pants for legs. So I ended up having to redo that part at the last minute (they really wouldn't have been long enough anyway). Fortunately, it wasn't hard to find more of the identical fabric at the store, and I just tacked it on to some pants that have gaping holes in the knees (I have to admit, that describes an impressively large fraction of his long pants -- it's a wonder that boy has any skin on his knees at all!) and will be thrown away as soon as Halloween is over this year.
