Costume #1


So any body that knows us, knows that for about the last year, Andre' has been more than obsessed with dinosaurs. He knows the names to probably more than 20, has upwards of 100 plastic ones at home, movies, books, clothes, anything to do with dinosaurs, this boy was after.

So when I asked him what he wanted to be for Halloween a couple of weeks ago, I was almost 100% positive that he was going to say T Rex. Guess what, he didn't. I guess it's been a couple of months now, that Spiderman has been creeping into the picture. So when he told me he wanted to be Spiderman for Halloween, my first thought was that I'm gonna have to get 2 costumes. 1 of each, so just in case at the last minute he changes his mind, we don't have a complete and total mely down for not having the one that he wants.

Well I found a Spiderman costume on eBay for $4.99 with foam muscles and all, jumped on that deal, and it's in transit over the ocean now. But a couple of days ago, we went to a friend I work withs house, originally to help paint her daughter's room. She has a little boy about the same age as Andre' so when we go over there, they can play while we visit.

We had a couple of drinks, painted one wall, fed the kids dinner, painted the other wall. All while there was a creepy guy in the house that had come over to try to fix her phone. I wasn't leaving until he did. So we hung out, her kids fell asleep and of course Andre' was still up so to not miss a thing. We went in her closet to find a hat, cause today is crazy hat day at school. She comes out with this costume that was made for her daughter when she did pageants a few years back.

He was instantly in love with it. Wore it there, held it on the way home, asked for it when he woke up the next morning, and it rode with him to school, and home that afternoon, he put it on when we walked in the door yesterday, and then wanted to bring it to school today, but we were running late.

We'll see what happens when the Spiderman costume gets to the house;)
