The Menace

After brain storming, online shopping, re-shopping, and sewing mud patches onto red overalls, we finally have the perfect Halloween costume for Adam. A whole month of planning paid off, and now we have the perfect clothes for a kid who really doesn't need a costume to be called Dennis the Menace.

I think I might even be brave enough to get a pattern and actually sew his whole costume for Halloween next year. Don't hold me to that though.

If they are casting for a remake of Dennis the Menace, he may be a shoo-in.

We went to the daycare's Fall Festival "Trunk or Treat" tonight for about an hour. We didn't get many pictures, but below are a couple. After dressing him in the costume he had a mini-breakdown (he does NOT like overalls) and was having a moody day, but once we got near the people he warmed up fairly quickly. The highlights of Adam's evening were seeing Ms. Tiffany after a week of being home with Mom during the day, grabbing two handfuls of candy out of a candy bowl (score!) and sprinting through the parking lot with it as Shannon chased him down (the parking lot was blocked off for the festival), and then after having a whole lollipop, did laps up and down the hallway screaming and laughing. Let's hope he has this much fun when Halloween gets here!

The costume comes complete with slingshot and a cowlick. And a personal carrier.

Happy to be with Ms. Tiffany and happy to have a lollipop...
