Well after two SERIOUS months of costume investigations through catalogs, we went to our local Halloween superstore to "narrow" it down. Yeah, right. In the course of our 45 minute visit Mr. D went from wanting to be Spiderman (again) to Captain Jack Sparrow to Batman to Harry Potter to Superman. Upon leaving the store WITHOUT a costume...
D says: "Mommy I am seriously frustrated. I'm about ready to cry. I just want my costume!"
Me: "Well, buddy, we can't buy one until you REALLY know which one you want. You can't change your mind once we buy the costume because they won't take it back."
D: "Why?" (Yes, that is still his favorite word the English language has to offer!)
You can probably imagine the conversation circle that ensued the following HOUR! He's not happy.
Miss A similarly was just as undecided. First it was a "beautiful bride", then it was a princess (she switched from Ariel to Snow White to Sleeping Beauty), then Dorothy (she LOVED and "had to have" the sparkly shoes...that's my girl!), and finally Hannah Montana. (HM is a VERY new development at the Caswell house!) Unlike D, Miss A was totally cool when she found out we had to leave and come back later to buy our costumes. No explanations necessary, just put her "treasures" away and walked to the entrance ready to go. Sweet girl!
