This year for Halloween, I decided that it would be fun to make Will's costume. I had no idea what I got myself into when I bought all the material and got started. I think for the last couple of weeks if I got to bed before 12:30 AM I was doing pretty good. (Remember I also have to leave for work at 7:00am, if you do the math you'll realize I have been a little sleep deprived!) At one point I had an idea for our whole family to dress up in a theme (I won't say what it is in case we do it next year), but when I mentioned it to Grant he quickly shot down the idea of dressing up for Halloween. A couple of days later, I mention dressing Will up as Max from Where the Wild Things Are (Will loves the book) and then Grant thought he could dress up as a Wild Thing. I brought up the whole argument of dressing up and he confessed he just needed time to adjust to the idea of making a fool of himself for his kids. I haven't sewn anything with an actual pattern in SEVERAL years! I can't even remember what it was I sewed last. But I was pretty excited about this since I just got a sewing machine for Christmas last year and love the idea of any little projects. Even though between Grant's headpiece and Will's costume I got very little sleep and a little grief for neglecting my own husband's birthday, I think they turned out pretty cute!
Don't let that innocent face fool you!
He seriously has turned into a wild thing ever since he started walking!
I decided that I had already put too much time into the two costumes so I was the mom who sent Max to bed without his supper! Lucky for him, it's Halloween and people are giving out candy, so he didn't go to bed hungry!
This is the first house we went Trick-or-Treating to a house, it definitely
didn't take long for him to catch on to the whole free candy idea!
Grant was such a good sport about wearing that mask everywhere with Will! Will thought the mask was hilarious, and would smack it around to remind him who was king. However, some of our other friends' kids didn't think the mask was all that funny, it actually left several kids in tears running for their parents! Oops!
