Thriller

T is going to be Buzz Lightyear this year for Halloween. We went all out and got him the costume from the Disney Store with light up wings, boots, gloves, the whole bit. He even has a Buzz gun that lights up and makes the really annoying electronic laser sounds. His pre-school Halloween parade was today and the whole class, and the 3-yr-old class all got to walk around the playground and outside for a bit before returning to the classrooms. While we were in the class the 'Child Of The Week' was identified as the kid who would get to lead the parade. By the time they got to the outside of the playground, my man Ty was leading the pack. Out in front shooting all comers with his laser. There were two other Buzzes in his class, both with other costumes. No light up wings, no gloves, no shiny spacesuit. The 3-yr-old class had two Buzz Lightyear's both with the same getup as our own little hero. There were two cowboys, two Minnie Mouses, an Ariel, a girl who kept asking her mom when she would get to put on the makeup, and my personal favorite, a kid in a Superman costume, full on fake muscles, the belt, the boots, the cape, and wearing a Batman mask, with the ears and everything. It was quite awesome. It seems that he couldn't make up his mind which DC superhero he wanted to be, so he decided that he would be both.

Little E is set to be Tinkerbell (yes we have a Disney theme this year) but she doesn't really feel like wearing the poofy costume. It's basically a swimsuit with ruffles and wings attached. She is not a fan. She likes the loud clompin shoes, and enjoys whacking me with her wand, but not a fan of the poof. She was bawling last night when we tried it on her. Hopefully tonight will be better when she's more awake and T's in his costume also. Here's hoping. Pictures to be posted in a couple days.
