So I bought Zachary's costume and we brought it home to try it on, we got the jumpsuit part on and he was happy, then I took out the cape/mask (it's all 1 piece) and he freaked out! Started running from me saying he was so scarred and didn't want to be Batman any more. He had been talking about dressing up as Batman since last spring so I knew he would not be happy taking the costume back. I finally caught him and showed him the mast/cape, I had him touch it and asked if we could put it on like a hat. He said no, he wanted the costume off. I brought him into my bedroom and made him look into the full length mirror. He looked and said he liked it. So he finally let me put the mask/cape on as a hat, he will not let it go over his eyes, which is ok since he wears glasses and it would be hard to put it on with glasses. So he's still going to be Batman.
So we found a Scooby Doo costume for Kaleb, the one at Target he originally wanted was $40 so that was a no go. We found a toddler one at Walmart for $17 and since I read the reviews and they all said they ran really small, we tried it on right there in the aisle, as soon as I got it fastened up he looked at me and said "I Cooby" with the biggest smile on his face. It fits, barely but it only has to fit for 1 night.
We're going to visit Chester's Party Barn for their pumpkin patch activities as soon as we have a rain free day after Jerry gets back from Texas, so probably next weekend. It's a neat day, $6 each to get in, a pony ride and pumpkin included for each paid admission, free petting zoo, hay ride, 3 acre maze and a huge slide. Then we have to carve the pumpkins (which we never got around to last year...oops!)
