Halloween Carnival

Today was the Halloween Carnival at Valley View. These cute kids were so excited.



We had a little drama with Spencers costume. I buy my kids costumes on clearance the year before (they pick them out) and he chose Boba Fett from Star Wars and we packed him away nicely and pulled him out a few weeks ago. Well, THIS year he was quite aware that he's 8...in a new school...and apparently Boba Fett is a "baby costume" (?) and ALL his friends were being something scary.. ALL of them.

(insert eye roll)...

so I refused to fork over more money, but had compassion for his predicament and thankfully his older cousin had a skeleton costume we borrowed. Yay for cousins in close proximity! And yay for a happy 8 year old who now feels comfortable in his "scary" get up!
