I know it's not Halloween yet, but we got in our dress up night at the church Trunk-or-Treat, and we likely won't do it again (all together at least.)
Each year I feel like our costumes have a story. This year I bought the lion costume for myself for my Galactic Travel Day at school (culmination of our fantasy genre reading project.) I am a lion because I am reading my class the Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe. My partner teacher (who will be leaving after this week--so sad!) is going to be the White Witch. I originally thought I could be the white witch and Derek could be Aslan. Then Derek said if we went with the Narnia theme, he wanted to be the wardrobe. What an annoying costume. So Ben and I decided to be Despicable Me villians. He started planning several months ago. I ordered a track suit so I could be the 80s dance villain Bart. Ben ordered a Vector suit. Or thought I ordered it. Then I realized he hadn't ordered so I ordered. Then it wasn't going to come in time. Ugh.
So, change of plans. I realized I could fit into the Wizard of Oz costume that Libby had when she was Wendy (I think 6th grade?--but it was pretty big on her then). So with the Lion costume that would fit Ben, Dorothy for me, we got to work on Scarecrow for Derek (he's wearing his dad's overalls.) And then Geneva jumped on board as the witch! It was fun.
