OK, I digress. Josh's nephew Luke's birthday party was today and it was a costume party. So I figured I needed to come up with some costumes. Of course, those costumes had to fit my Halloween-Scrooge guidelines:1) Most importantly, they can't cost any money.
2) They can't take any time.
3) They can't require any forethought.
4) Oh, and Kellen requires a costume that is basically regular clothes, since nothing can feel strange in any way.
So, here's what we came up with at the last minute. Seriously, while Kellen was using the bathroom before we left. Kellen went as a construction worker (don't all construction workers wear shirts with dump trucks on them?) using a Bob the Builder hat we already had.
And Bonnie went as super-something, using a costume we'd gotten as a hand-me-down. It's a size 3 and I had the sleeves rolled up at one point but they fell down. Doesn't she look happy? Well, Cole looks happy anyway.
I'm expecting my Mother of the Year nomination at any time now.

I went as uncle Josh. If I were choosing a Halloween costume, I would probably go as Dr. Evil. That would be awesome.
By the way, I'm watching the A&M game right now. I'm fairly certain my freshman "B" team, who has scored only 4 touchdowns through 8 games, could beat these clowns. Bitter.....
Okay, I'm sitting in the hotel lobby at the convention laughing. High school kids are looking at me funny, which is never a good sign.
By the way, I don't think you and Emma can be friends anymore because Halloween is her favorite holiday.
By the way, I just thought I'd leave one more comment that has "by the way," in it.
Poor Bonnie - Kellen looks like he's having such a good time, and Bonnie just has a waif-like appearance. Now, aren't you sorry you made the comment about no one reading your blog and commenting?
Love,
Dad
LOL Debbie Downer...that gave me a good laugh!
I hope you wont judge me too harshly for fully embracing the pagan traditions that are Halloween. I remember loving wearing the amazing costumes my mom created for me as a kid--getting to dress up and be something/someone different--anything I wanted for one special night a year was always so fun for me, I just had to pass it on to Norah. I think she likes it too...although I'm a little nervous about when she gets a little older and stars requesting costumes that may not jive with what I want to do...I guess that's when I'll whip out the "No...because I'm the mom and I said so" card. :)
No judgement here! Just apathy, really.
Halloween is AWESOME and the point of Halloween is 1) to dress up funny and 2) free candy...need I say more? Also we can still be friends Erin, but our friendship is now alittle damaged.
Not one of my favorite times, but I do love to see the "creative" costumes. We had the jogging pants or sheets with holes to make something speacial. So, the creative cosumtes that come out with thought and "home essentials" are the best to me. I think you deserve a nomination alone for not spending a dime! You GO GIRL!
