Costume Drama

MR has had a real hard time deciding what to be this Halloween. Since we were a princess last year, I begged her to come up with something new. Dumbfounded by my request, she has made it very clear that she either wants to:

 a) dress up as “naked girl” or

 b) go as herself, because God made her “spppecial”.

After the Georgia/Tennessee game, I finally convinced MR to be a Georgia “cheerleadah”  for Halloween. Relieved that she bought into my costume choice, I checked “costume drama” off of my list.

When G flew out earlier this week for a business trip in Detroit, MR and I decided to have a costume party. We dressed up as witches, cowboys and cowgirls, monsters, princesses, “cheerleadahs”, and bears. After emptying out the dress up trunk, we were exhausted.  Surrounded by costumes and accessories, MR looked at me and said, “I don’t want to be a cheerleadah anymore. It’s too much work. I think I will just go trick-a-treating as Mary Reese. That’s much easier….”

And so it is.  “Costume drama” has returned once again to the top of my list…

Further complicating matters is that I dressed up the kids as bears for family night at Chick-fil-a. The good news is the outing made her excited about wearing a costume again. The bad news is that we may be escorting a “bear cheerleadah” on Halloween night.

MR loved getting her face painted at Chick-fil-a

This little guy is all smiles these day!
