this year, well i totally dropped the ball. at first i had 2 fellas who were totally NOT interested in dressing up for halloween.
i must also tell you that Bruiser eventually admitted his reason for not wanting to dress up for their school costume parade. IT INVOLVED A GIRL.
some cheeky little first grader who chases him on the playground. all i could think of was Mr. Darcy's line, "i cannot express to you the depths of Georgiana's despair."
i may have cried. i may have thrown myself on him screaming not to leave me. or i may have looked at him affectionately, grinned that he confessed such a secret to me, and moved on. that last one sounds more mature, so let's go with that one.
this year i bought Doh Doh's costume at Target (for half price!!!) before the Halloween costumes were out. i just bought it for her to dress up in. did i mention it was half price? only 9 smackers. booyah!
she's a fairy. one of tinkerbell's friends. we were later told the fairy's name is Silvermist. yeah, like we cared. whenever people asked, she informed them she was a butterfly. i was good with that. everyday she wanted to be something different. so when she settled on this, i was ok with it.
although everybody gave me grief over her striped tights and boots. i was ok with that too.
the boys decided they wanted to be lego men. only they decided just days before our fall festival at church. {sigh} i went to lowe's, looked around for anything i could use to make a lego man head.
i thought it turned out cute. Bruiser wore his costume to the fall festival. but never again. he informed me he thought the kids would make fun of him for wearing a cardboard box. wha!?!?!?!?! i have a kid who cares what others think?!?!? i just don't know about that kid sometimes.
i finally convinced him to go to school as a football player. i'm the homeroom mom. he had to participate! so we went to borrow my nephew's pads. adorable, right?!?
he wouldn't wear that either. {sigh} right before the costume parade at school i grabbed the stickers, which he would only wear at school.
my sweet Bubba rocked the lego man costume at school. all i could do was shake my head and wish i'd had more time to construct it.
after school he discovered his brother's facial stickers. and the mouthpiece i bought but Bruiser wouldn't wear. his lego man costume was quickly forgotten for trick or treating that night.
thank you, Tim Tebow.
