Well, for all the discussion...not much gets decided about costumes until the day of...In the morning, E was going to go as a bride. We even picked up my veil from Mom's so that she could wear it...then she changed to a sparkle fairy...then it was a panic because it was 4 and she didn't know what to be. It was a cold, rainy night this year. So, I suggested wearing a full body red leotard to keep her warm...to keep her modest we hunted through her dress-up clothes and pulled out her lady-fairy costume. We pulled off the wings...and deemed her a 'lady-bug monster". She found some red netting that we put over her hair and a pretty ribbon to help secure it to her head. The finishing touch to her costume was some wolf ears to make a 'true' monster. It was quite the costume. She looked very pretty and not very much like a monster but in her mind she was a monster...so a monster she was. Thankfully, the boys were so much easier. X was very content to be a cow...no discussion or changed minds...just the costume on and off because it was too hot to wear indoors for very long. C didn't really like that whole 'dress-up' idea. He had the bumblebee costume on for about 5 minutes and decided he was finished with that crazy idea. However, once he found out candy was involved, he had a whole new attitude about his bumble bee outfit. He loved the candy...ate more candy throughout the night than I would have ever allowed the older ones to eat. He just unwrapped what he wanted and ate it...the little stinker. I am probably very fortunate that he wasn't up all night with a stomach ache!
Just for comparison...here they were two years ago when C was just 4 days old...
Thankfully, X has grown into the costume a bit more...and maybe we need to get a bit more creative for next year! However, my prediction is that C will be wearing that cow next year...everyone needs a turn as a cow!!
