Kiddo's First Actual Halloween!
*plops down with her to do lists and a sigh*
So..took 5 years, but Destructoboy is finally interested in Halloween! We weren't entirely sure until about a week ago though. He likes watching Goosebumps and Scooby Doo, so we had to make sure it wasn't just the tv fare that is offered at this time of year. He has also been going on about Robots, Lasers and Monsters for over a month, so that wasn't really a trigger either.
He started pointing out different Jack-o-Lanterns that we have seen around, so, okay..he's interested.
Been out and about the past couple of days trying to get everything together for it.
Got some silver face paint, he has some grey clothes, and at the suggestion of a store employee, picked up a silver table cloth. Robot it is..if he really wants to be a Monster Robot that Shoots Lasers, no problem! I also got him a little fiber optic light stick that would double nicely for lasers.
Might not take him out around Trick or Treating all that much, but he should have fun dressing up anyway.
I have no idea how many kids we are going to get, but we are in a school area and our apartment complex is open, so I bought $20 worth of candy just in case. Good work out carrying that home!
We also carved the Jack-o-Lantern tonight! Hubby drew a couple of pumpkin styles on a piece of paper, and then asked which eyes, nose and mouth Destrutoboy wanted. I forgot how messy scrapping out pumpkins is. *chuckles* Good thing I picked up a cheap plastic tablecloth with a halloween theme on it.
Still don't have anything to dress myself up as, and I wanted to see about getting one of those paper skeletons that hangs down to put on the door, but we are mostly set.
..I think.
