Can we find a costume??

Yes, we can! Finding a costume for Austin was so much easier when he didn't have his own opinion! From early to late September, he was going to be a vampire. I found the costume at the Gymboree outlet and it looked so cute with his spiked hair. A few weeks later, he decide he "no like" the vampire costume! He had decided on a pirate thanks to Moose and Zee's pirate adventures on Nick Jr. I scoured the Internet for the perfect pirate costume. I finally settled on one that came with boots and long pirate hair...this was going to be prefect! You know where this is going, right? Yep...he hated it! He politely said, "mama do it" and pushed the pirate hat back at me. Back to square one...

I started racking my brain for easy, less traumatizing costumes for him to wear. I told myself I should go with something he likes. Cars? Trucks? Tractors? M&Ms? Finally, while watching the same episode of Bob the Builder for the 100th time, it hit me! Bob the Builder! That's it!! He agreed and the rest is history....

Getting pictures of Bob was hard. He moves fast from job site to job site, never taking a break to smile at the camera. A builder's job is never done! Here are a few from our weekend of trick-or-treating.....

Our family and friends know Bob well... He needs a new workshop to store all of his loot from Halloween!

Was the costume "drama" worth it? Yes, it was! Did he look just as cute as any vampire or pirate? Yes, he did!

(PS - do you need a 2T vampire or pirate costume? I just might know where to find one!)
