Ok, so Brian and I hit the usual Halloween stores to buy Jacob a costume. All the costumes were so....um...commercial(?). Is that the right word? They just didn't appeal to me. So, I decided to make Jacob's costume this year....I made this thing while in the throes of strep throat (I should win Mother-of-the-Year just for that)...stayed up past 11...(and I have to tell you, if I do say so myself, I did an awesome job!) What was he, you ask? Wait no longer:
Genius!! I'm not the crafty type, so I'm pretty proud of my work!
Andrew was a cow....but I don't have those pics available just yet. I will devote an entire blog to his first Halloween (it's only fair).
Anyway, we went trick-or-treating with Sara, Kelly (who, by-the-way, are now ENGAGED!!) and Mason and I have to say that I was sorely disappointed with the loot that my kid got. There were waaaaaay too many Twizzlers and waaaaay too few Reese's Cups. Where I come from, Reese's Cups are a Halloween staple, not Twizzlers. I mean, it's only going to be a few more years of this trick-or-treating business where Brian and I can eat the candy. So, I'll keep my fingers crossed for next year.
As a side note, Mason seemed to think, initially, that Jacob's costume was irrelevant. However, after witnessing all the attention Jacob's costume got, at the end of the night, Mason said to me, "I wish I was a Chick Magnet." Sorry, kid...not all parents can have awesome Halloween costume ideas like me.
