Remember how last Halloween Jack wanted to be The Flash? Instead he was an adorable parrot. This year he's become obsessed with Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Transformers, and other random boy things. At first he wanted to be Iron Man. Then he wanted to be a Ninja Turtle. BUT I came across a costume at a consignment sale for only $7! Drum roll please....
The Flash!
I was so excited to find it and at such a great price! Then the disappointment rolled in when Jack was less than thrilled because he didn't want to be The Flash this year. Oh well. You don't have a choice! Cue evil mommy laugh. :)
Jack was a trooper though and he came up with something very creative.
Introducing...
The Flash Raphael!
His aunt had given him a Ninja Turtle dress up set so he paired that with his Flash costume to create a new and awesome character. Pretty creative! He wore this to school for his class party and parade.
He dressed up as just The Flash for trick-or-treating and handing out candy.
Aren't our pumpkins cool? In case you can't tell, that's a skull, Iron Man, and the small one is Jack's own design. :)
Despite the chilly weather we had a great time! After trick-or-treating Jack sat with me on the front porch at Grandpa's house, helping pass out candy. We were out there for a good hour before calling it quits!
On the way home we stopped at his previous home daycare to visit Ms. R. She had a special goodie bag waiting for Jack and we visited with her for about an hour. Jack even spent the day there on Veteran's Day because his school was closed but my office wasn't. I'm grateful to have a wonderful caregiver close by who truly loves Jack!
