Halloween Costumes
The kids are starting to decide what they want to be for Halloween. This is a good thing that they are deciding now, because this is such a busy month, I need all of the lead time I can get to get everything together for them.
Annie wants to be ‘My Hero Zero’ (”not the girl, mom, the boy who is the superhero”).
Allison, who is really too old for trick or treating, but gets a free pass to do it anyway due to the younger siblings (and, who didn’t really get to trick-or-treat as a kid, because her mom didn’t take her (not sure if it was due to bad neighborhoods or laziness or mom at work…) -and- we never had her on Halloween), wants to be ‘Goo’ from “Fosters Home For Imaginary Friends”.
We borrowed Schoolhouse Rock (Multiplication) from the library yesterday, to use as a reference, but, after finding the red superhero cape in the basement on Tuesday, the rest of this one should be pretty easy to find (I think) - red shiny shorts, blue tights, blue long sleeved shirt, yellow felt for the zero, white or red boots (which will, hopefully, serve duty as winter boots, too).
Allison DVR’ed the episode of Fosters that has Goo in it, last week. So, we’ll be able to manage that one with some shopping (and hair styling), too. We’ve already won this shirt from e-bay for the foundation. Now, we need some overalls (shorts? skirt?) and yellow boots (that can also be winter boots - or, a different color boot that I can cover temporarily with yellow felt, maybe).
Shelby has no clue what he wants to be. Hope it ends up being manageable, anyway.
That rainbow shirt is awesome - and great for the costume! Love it!
