I don’t know about the rest of you with young children, but with Halloween being less than six weeks away, the *C*O*S*T*U*M*E* decision is looming large around here. This is the first time that K & O really have a handle on what Halloween is all about. They seem to forget the candy part (strange little three year olds, aren’t they?!!), but they definitely remember the costume part. They are old enough now to decide for themselves what they want to be. And, over the past couple of weeks they’ve been unequivocally consistent. So, as of today, it is OFFICIAL. By their own choosing (I really don’t remember how they got this idea into their head), Kyle and Owen are going to be… Thing 1 and Thing 2 from The Cat in the Hat. They are also clear and consistent on this: Owen will be Thing 1, and Kyle will be Thing 2. Costume figuring-out has begun. The only thing the boys are adamant about: They say that they need new Crocs to wear as part of their costumes (?? where they got this idea, I have no idea). The only thing they’ve been wavering on: what color the new Crocs will be (red seems the obvious choice to me, but they’re all over the map— yellow? blue? purple?). The last two Halloweens I’ve thought that it could not possibly get any better (K & O have been soooo into Halloween both years)… but I have a sneaking suspicion that at age 3 Halloween might be even more fun this year!
