Firefighter eating his favorite treat at g'pa Bruce and G'ma Jeri's - a kiss !
Halloween is always fun. In school the kids dress up in costume of what they want to be when they grow up .. Last year AND this year Clayton was a Firefighter ! We will see if his career choice changes next year. His firefighter costume from last year still fit . We kind of knew that since he digs it out and wears it throughout the year :) Once-and-awhile there are important fires to fight in our home !
On Trick-or-Treat night in Lake Park I offered Clayton a tie-dye shirt and a disco wig! I thought he may like to dress in theme with his brother. He was not as amused as I was and stuck to being a firefighter. He really is a great firefighter :) Just thought I would see what I could get out of him ! In past years Clayton was a Tomato and a Chicken. They were really unique costumes which he proudly wore without protest. I looked for the tomato pix and didnt come up with it.......here is the chicken. Yikes! Even got a picture behind the gate like he was in a cage !
It was a great costume! as was the tomato ! Darn where is that picture ?! Somewhere I found this great idea to transform large sweatshirts into costumes. The tomato was a large red sweatshirt and the cut off sleeve was the hat. He even wore red tights. Here as you see, the large white sweatshirt became the chicken with feather boa and don't miss the cut off sleeve as the hat ! you can't see in this picture but there are red......what do you call those things!?!......red "bumps" on the top! CUTIE PATOOTIE !!!! The sweet costumes are packed away for possible reappearances by his brother :)
I had fun with him while I could get by with it!
The chicken was 3 years old.......now he is 5 and smart enough to know he can protest !
Poor Poor Myles :O I could NOT resist this costume. He makes a really great Disco Baby I must say ! The wig was not his favorite and came off every time we got back into the car seat. If he was walking around or distracted the wig stayed on very well !
He has no clue.....no clue at all.
Someday he will protest, until then, his mother will choose ~ The tomato costume is an option for next year. We will have to see ?
