A scurvy pirate, a black cat, and Oren




So much for Bob the Builder - we clearly shopped too early for Rooster's costume this year. Over the weekend, he decided he really, really, really wanted to be a pirate, and finally today I agreed to look for a pirate costume. Lo and behold, Target had one left and it just so happened to be his size - and it was on sale. Clearly he was meant to be a pirate. :) Reid has been running around the house yelling, "I'm a scurvy pirate!" and, "My pirate ship is out of gas!" and, "My sword doesn't hurt people because it's soft!" (Fortunately the costume came with a sword made of foam - I demonstrated the perks of this in the store when he requested a much larger, much harder sword.)

Lil is still very excited about being a cat.... We didn't use any face paint in our dress rehearsal since she'd just had a rainbow painted on her face at a birthday party. She's scooting around the house on all fours. (This is also why she isn't wearing the tights that she'll wear on Halloween.)

Oren was over for a visit late this afternoon - he's getting so big!
