i love this line from the book - one of the boys' favorites
and it seems fitting as there is always a wild rumpus at the gerber house.
if you haven't witnesseed it, just trust me on this one.
i've probably read this book to finn over a hundred times,
and now scout has started to enjoy it as we are moving from board books to 'big kid' books.
since the boys are sharing a room, we've been reading stories together before bed
and this is a book they both enjoy.
they are fascinated with max and his adventures on the island where all the wild things live.
warner brothers have made a movie version of the story, and it will be in theaters next month.
spike jonze directed it and the author was involved as well. it looks like it's worth seeing,
but i've yet to decide if i will take finn to see it. (it's rated pg and i'm pretty strict with movies)
i'm considering dressing scoutie as max, the main character in the book.
though finn is at a better age for it,
he has already declared he is going to be a ROBOT for halloween
and that dad was making his costume.
i think the days of me influencing his costume choice are over.
i guessed it would be when he started kindergarten and sure enough.
my prediction came true. *wink*
even the proposition to finn to wear a red jumpsuit and spray hishair blue
so he and scout could go as dr. seuss' thing 1 and thing 2 didn't appeal to him.
he said "maybe next year mom."
he's a robot fanatic right now - obsessed with science, labs and experiments and robots.
he's even talking about his birthday next year being a robot party.
at least i don't have to come up with a theme.

since we will be in florida for a week before halloween,
i need to be sure we get their costumes in order before we head down south.
i'd love to have everything ready so i don't have to think about it after i get home.
christopher will enjoy working with finn to makes his costume so that's one down.
now if only i could sew, i'd make the little wolf costume for scout.
since i don't, i'm hoping to find a white union suit or jumper i can just
pin a tail on and figure out something for the feet.
if i don't have any luck, maybe ebay or etsy will have something?

max wears a wolf costume, basically a white/gray footed jumper.
in the story he is given the crown by his wild friends
who declare him the 'wildest thing of all'.
(i'm not sure scout would wear a crown)
possible costume idea for next year...dr. seuss' thing 1 and 2.
christi and her sister jenny were considering being 'sexy' things 1 and 2 this year.
they'd pull it off so well! i can't wait to see what they dress as.
