I think it may have been guilt over that pitifully poor maternal effort that prompted me to the other extreme in later years.Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11608367845237265875noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12206332.post-1129944746957819682005-10-21T21:32:00.000-04:002005-10-21T21:32:00.000-04:00More pizzazzy, and more creative!

I was never able to achieve that with Brendan - to the point that one year (second grade), he wanted to be a "batman-dragon-space alien". Being the milque-toast that I am, I went to Joann's, got some black quilted fabric for the batman cowl-cape, some green and yellow felt for the dragon tummy scales and tail, which I then sewed onto a turquoise lame(la-may)shiny suit along with some extraterrrestrial-type ziz-zag ornamentation.
