We weren’t expecting to have the twins for Halloween festivities, so today was all about running around town to get costumes for the twins and my kids.
There was only one request — Dash wanted to be Bruce Lee in the yellow outfit.
I am usually very resourceful, but figuring out the “yellow outfit” was impossible. I tried to dissect other costumes, create something out of plain yellow clothes — honestly, I tried everything, and it just wasn’t working.
Plan B.
After hours of looking for yellow, with an hour left, I decided to use some angel wings I had at home for the twins — and they were going to be cherubs. My other angel wings could be used by Pippi to be an angel with her white leotard. I grabbed a halo — just in case. And Dash??? I had one more set of angel wings, but knew he wouldn’t want to be an angel….
BUT WOULD HE GO FOR CUPID?
My kids are always rad about being shameless…so I got him a bow and arrow and a white cloth for his “diaper”…and committed to the theme.
These two turned into perfect little cherubs.
Pippi was the perfect angel.
And guess who was totally excited about his outfit — curled hair and all!
Navy found stuff to be a devil — and completed the whole crew! I mean…for last minute…this ain’t bad!
The best part…
When we got to the trunk or treat, Dash saw a bunch of buddies from school. A gourp of four of his classmates dressed up as Transformers and Karate kids went up to him and asked, “Dash…what are you?” while they were kind of laughing at him. He looked at them, and said, “I am cupid…the God of Love! What are YOU!” Then walked off proudly! That’s my boy!
It was a really fun night…
But this crew of kids was beat by about 11:00.
