Love That Bug

On our drive back from camping a week ago I got a call from a lady that works for Simplicity and she told me that I had won second prize in the Baby category for Ian's stinkbug Halloween costume! I was super excited to find out I had been one of the top 5, but I was beside myself thrilled to learn I had actually placed! I really didn't think that I even had a chance knowing I was going up against so much talent out there. While there was virtually no creativity in the sewing of the pants and jacket, I figure it must have come down to subject matter. Stinkbugs aren't a common Halloween costume choice. That and Ian is downright adorable as a stinkbug. How could you not love this:

So what did I win? Other than bragging rights, I got a fabulous certificate declaring my awesomeness and a check for $250! Nice! Maybe I'll have to enter more contests.
