Let me explain that he has almost never dressed up for Halloween. Last year, for the first time I have known him, he agreed to wear a referee shirt with black jeans, but that was as close to a costume as I had ever seen him get...in the 15+ years we have been together....unless you include the time he wore a tuxedo for our wedding. ha!
This year, my husband and I were not planning to dress up, but I think my son was about to break down into tears if we didn't. His favorite holiday seems to be Halloween, you see. He loves to dress up. In fact, he dresses up on a regular basis. He has a Batman costume, a Superman costume, a Spiderman costume, a pirate costume, and an Ironman costume. He wears them semi-regularly and was ecstatic that he was able to wear them outside three days in a row (for a parade at school, a Halloween party, and then Halloween trick-or-treating). So, I busted out my costume from last year - a generic cheerleading outfit - and wore that to the Halloween party I attended with my son. Sadly, I just didn't get something else together in time. And yesterday, my husband bought these weird contacts and fangs for Halloween night.
Our kids were thrilled. Our daughter kept talking about it over and over. You see, she is a tween and has only seen her father get dressed up last year and this one. HAHA. Now our son, on the other hand, will expect him to dress up for years to come. haha. :)
The things we do for our kids!
