In case you are a shut-in or have been able to mentally block out the ghost/goblin/bloody skeleton decor and those 1,800 pound bags of candy hanging around the stores since all that stray Easter grass got swept up, it is now October, and I have it on good authority that Halloween will be here soon. We are in the process of collecting pumpkins of varying size, color, and wartiness. So far, we are up to seven, and I fully expect the stars of HGTV Hoarders: Squash Edition to show up on my doorstep at any second. I cannot resist holiday jun ... er, decor ... purchasing, even in vegetable form.
This evening we had a productive trip to the costume store. The goal was to find some sort of football uniform but there was a last minute substitution, and we came home with tiny surgical scrubs and a stethoscope. It did not take more than a few minutes in the costume aisle for the future doctor to make his selection.
While the small one was perusing, I took the opportunity to window-shop while trying to make sense of the adult costumes, for example, "Sexy" Big Bird. You read that correctly. Big Bird, but with a miniskirt, halter, striped thigh-highs and four-inch pink pleather platforms. I assume she will be attending the party with her close friends Swinger Elmo and Oscar the Pimp. And now, by typing those words, I have probably landed myself on some type of federal watch list.
But I digress ... OHHH!!!!!!!!!!! PUMPKIN PIE POP-TARTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OK, focus ... so as I was saying ... small surgical scrubs. It was a curious choice, and one that surprised me. I had to ask. Why dress like a doctor? Why not a lawyer? He had a quick response, "Mommy, your skirts would be too big for me. Also, I am 99% sure I do not like pantyhose."

My girls were petrified of the Halloween decorations when we went shopping for outfits! I ended up ordering the outfits online.
Oh, my gosh!! This is too funny! Now, the skirt issue you can always fix with safety pins, but I'm with him on the pantyhose! (Unless he shifted careers to bank robber and wore them on his head.)
Sexy Big Bird?????
Um, ewww.
And gross.
And gag.
And SERIOUSLY?
99% huh? Gotta love a kid who's (mostly) decided about his likes and dislikes that he can give percentages with them! :)

Pumpkin Pie Pop Tarts! Yes please!
Oscar the Pimp - I KNEW IT. I knew that creep was a pimp, there on the corner, spying at everyone.
Hmm. I'm 99% sure your hubby wouldn't like it if your son wore your skirts and panty hose, so good choice!
Oscar the Pimp? I have not seen those, am certain I don't want to.
I am just dying laughing....and trying to be quiet because the whole house is sleeping except for insomniac me!
My goodness, I have missed your blog!
Alright...so, if in the process of catching up on all that I have missed in the last few months, I leave a million comments in one day...don't freak out. ;)
99% sure. Glad he's put some thought into it, haha.
