At long last, Chunguita’s Halloween costume.
Chunguita wanted to be a witch for Halloween, so being a good mother, I decided to make her a costume. (Did you hear the sarcasm?) Actually, that’s not true. When we were out with her Uncle Jack, Aunt Eina, and cousin Vivian, we found a spectacular aubergine witch’s hat. Once she had the hat, she [...]
