Pointless attempts to get one of them together- someone was very uncooperative
I am surprised we even had costumes this year. I don't know what happened, but it was hard to pull it all together. I started asking quite awhile ago what everyone wanted to be and throwing ideas out there. Everyone decided. Carter's was really easy, he loves to wear his football jersey so why not just do that? Done. Kayden's choice was easy too, but I couldn't find the costume. I started to get worried. Corey walked into one store across town and found one easily. One more done. Brendan wanted to be a werewolf. I started working on ideas for that. Then he decided he didn't want to be anything at all and wasn't going to dress up. After days of convincing and reminding threatening him that he couldn't get candy without a costume he decided on the skeleton costume we already had. He made it very clear that there he was not going to have any face paint though. Hailey decided she was going to be a cowgirl then out of nowhere she wanted to be a vampire. I had stuff already, but I wasn't so thrilled with the idea. What 4 year old girl chooses that? We skipped right over all the usual choices, princess anyone? Emery was easy- I was too tired to come up with anything else after all the other costume changes, she used another one we already had too. But let's face it, she can pull hand-me-downs off quite well. In the end, we made it to the Trunk-or-Treat with everyone in some kind of costume. Maybe next year, I will decide on the costumes.
