Have your Little Explorers been running around in their costumes since Oct 1? At my house, we go through this every year, and they haven't worn anything else! A few years back I had one that wouldn't wear anything but her Super Girl and Wonder Woman costumes - for almost 3 months! 

It is certainly fun to see their creativity come to life. Sometimes, however, it is hard to keep up with all their creativity and endless costume changes! 

That is why I love this week's Little Passports blog Post, Easy 4-step Halloween Craft, by Brandy at gluesticksblog.com. It is an easy Halloween craft sure to delight your darlings in disguise!
