I walked into the toy room to find the biggest mess! The kids had gotten into the costume drawer that is literally stuffed to the BRIM. Most of the time, they find what they want pretty quickly, but because Scout has been out of costume mode for a long time (because costumes don’t go over casts very easily), his Spiderman costume was pretty buried. So in order to find every last piece of it, he had to dig.
And aren’t I glad he did. Have you ever seen a more darling Spiderman in your life?
Look at those “army green” eyes.
So of course Icka had to dress up immediately after she saw Scout’s getup. She went to her standard Tangled princess dress. This pore dress is getting holes in because she has worn it to death. But my “milk chocolate brown” eyed girl has her opinion that doesn’t sway easily. And for now, her opinion is to be the tangled princess every single day of her life!
I obviously could not keep Dash out of the festivities. Last Halloween, I saw my same cow costumes for sale, and had to buy one for the unborn baby to match the other two. This is the first time he has had it on, and my love of costumes was reiterated. How couldn’t it be! Look at him. And if you will notice, this boy has “slate grey” eyes. (I mention their eyes, because since all of my kids were little, I have told them their eye color, and they love to hear what it is. And in case I ever forget what their descriptive colors were when they were little, I wanted to write them down while I had close ups of them.)

As I was getting Dash dressed up as a cow, I heard some noise in the next room in the bookshelves. I wanted to see what it was, and turned the corner to see my two-week-post-cast boy climbing away.
I would argue, but remember, he is “the boss of [his] own leg”! Actually this boy has done everything since he has had his legs back. Technically, the doctors said he would barely be trying to walk at this point. Little did they know Scout’s determination, and that he has already climbed all over the tide pools, chased his sister like crazy, ran around multiple playgrounds and climbed anything he sees. Nice work Spiderman!
He had to go in and show off his skills to Nonnie, and she was amazed!
So was Navy, who wanted to be just like her big brother and followed suit.
Nonnie was holding Dash, and when she told him about her really brave older siblings, he was pretty excited.
It really is amazing how much I love my kids in costumes. When Halloween rolls around, and they start going on sale, I literally have to hold myself back. Mostly because that costume drawer I mentioned earlier — doesn’t have room for even one more thing. Guess it’s time to clear another spot, because Dash is just barely coming onto the costume scene!
