Went to the local Halloween costume popup store earlier in the week. I'm fortunate this year in that The Girl already has her costume (a hand-me down from a friend) and that Thing One is making a costume out of stuff he already has. That left me just Thing Two to cover, but apparently every mother in the area thought to go costume shopping before I did, and most of the bigger-kid costumes were already sold out. The only one I could find in his size was a Captain Jack Sparrow outfit, and he has no idea who that is. Had to go home and order him a costume online, which is what I should have done in the first place to save myself the aggravation.
The costume store was something else, anyway. Seems like Halloween is basically dress-like-a-skank night. For adults, I could care less...their choice. Could not believe the little-girl costumes, though. Hoochie mama Minnie Mouse, anyone? Bet Mickey would love him some of that, but not on my kid! I'll make her a costume first. Would rather she not look like she belongs on a street corner somewhere, and if that makes me a PITA mom, so be it.
I'll need lots of practice before she gets to high school.
