We had a great weekend. After the last few weeks, it was
well needed and I was desperately worried it would fall through. But it
happened! And it was great. Here are a few pictures:
(my kids look too old)
Now to the more important stuff, and life, really. S’s
school does themes for Halloween, and last year the theme was book characters.
So even though he had already decided to go as Superman for Halloween, I made a
PETER PAN costume myself by hand so he would have a book character. This year
we got ahead of ourselves – he wanted to be Harry Potter and I thought HEY!
Book character! We’re golden!

Apparently this year the first grade theme is “nursery
rhyme characters.” Shit. Anyone have an idea that is simple and I can make?
Because I’m a little annoyed and I’m thinking of sending him to school as Harry
Potter anyhow. Last year kids were all sorts of superheroes and princesses
despite the theme (and I guess those people are in books too but come on).
Henry is going to be Darth Vader, so I just need to get
my crap together and make him a black cape and order a Vader helmet and I’m
done there. I think they’ve ruined their light sabers, so I might order him a
new one of those (that is not well used, including teeth marks).

I said this last year, but that theme costume thing is REALLY annoying.
I'm with Jessica on the THEMES. No bueno.
