Costumes, Costumes...

"A person should always choose a costume which is in direct contrast to her own personality.'' (It's the Great Pumpkin Charlie Brown)
Every year since Nate was born I have had grand plans of sewing him a fabulous homemade Halloween costume. Lets just say that has never happened. This year I'm hoping that his over-priced store-bought spider costume (that I bought to compensate for my lack of crafting skills) will still fit him, especially since he wore it for 1 hour last year after a 30 minute struggle to get him into it. He completely refused the cute little hat part. If I can get up the energy, I plan to dress-up as his web. All I need is a white table cloth, a black marker and 30 minutes of undisturbed time. I think that the time will be the hardest to come by. I had the same costume plans last year, but never got it together.
  • What are you guys doing for Halloween? Any good costume ideas in case Nate is too big to wear last year's costume. It says 2/3T, but I haven't tried it on him to see if it fits. After last year's debacle I'm a little scared.
  • Also, any ideas about what to do with all the candy that he's probably going to come home with? Last year Brent and I ate it figuring that he wouldn't notice, but since then he has figured out what candy is. I just don't want him getting sick or getting chocolate on the couch, carpet, dog, etc.

Jay wants us to dress Molly up in a little pantsuit as Hillary Clinton, and we'd dress up as secret service agents. Too political? I also saw a really cute giraffe costume in the pottery barn kids catalog.
