Because I know curious minds want to
know… Have I shared our costume saga yet? Keep in mind that I
don’t really care one way or the other about Halloween, so the
idea of spending $$ on a custom that Lex may or may not wear
didn’t really appeal to me. We’ve been chatting about it, he
and I, for awhile now and initially he didn’t want a Halloween
costume. I was ok with that, but nervous about what to do if he
changed his mind on Halloween day. The he announced one day
that he wanted to be a snowman for Halloween. Ok, we went on a
mission to find a snowman costume, but turned up just two…
neither of which he wanted. I looked in to making a costume,
but it seemed pricey and who knows if he’d wear that either!
Then he wanted to be nothing again. One day I was in the
basement digging through a box of dress-up clothes we have and
I found a dinosaur costume. It’s kind of like PJs really, but
clearly a dinosaur. I brought it up and hung it on the newel
post and a week later he announced he wanted to be a dinosaur!
Just yesterday Alan was able to get him to actually try the
thing on and it fits ok. Score! Eve is going to wear a
hand-me-down flower costume that mostly fits. She didn’t really
have any say in the matter. She’s getting mighty opinionated
lately though, so we’ll see if she’s willing to get dressed up
with the time comes!

C’mon Christmas!
There’s a holiday I can really get excited about :)
