are you ready for halloween?
this momma isn't.
soccer has kind of taken over my life the last few weeks and
finn and i started piano lessons 2 weeks ago! {i'll share more in another post}.
i'm feeling a bit behind the eight ball this year with this holiday that i love so much,
but i have been thinking about costumes for weeks, so that counts for something right? *wink*
i brought up my costume idea around the dinner table last week.
i thought it would be fun to do a themed 'family' costume.
i suggested the little guys go as lobsters {we dressed finn as one for his 1st halloween}
and christopher and could go as divers {this is how we dressed for finn's 1st halloween}.
c loved the idea of wearing wetsuits, masks and walking around in silly fins again,
especially because finn has no recollection of it, but the short guys in the house had other plans.
finn wants to be dennis the menace for pre-halloween parties and at school,
and an inventor on halloween night.
scout wants to be an skunk after finding finney's lil stinker costume
in our halloween bin that c pulled from storage. at size 3, it fits him like a glove.
now here's where i get to have a lil' fun.
scoutie's skunk costume is too hot to wear all day at preschool,
and because his school is asking students to wear pajama costumes,
i brought up the lobster costume idea thinking red thermals for the body.
he shot me down {again}, but said he could be a frog.
i loved this idea too and found it perfect since he was into frogs last year.
first, i needed green clothes - thermals, pjs, sweatpants/shirt, something.
after a few days of searching, i found the perfect green thermals at hanna anderson.
they arrived today, along with a cotton pilot cap {that i need to dye green}.
i just need to figure out how to make the eyes. styrofoam balls cut in half maybe?
i'm getting excited just thinking about it,
but i must run and pack two lunches for two little boys.
i've pulled out the pumpkin and ghost cookie cutters this weekend to
make their sandwhiches a little more FuN and FeStIvE!
