Costumes

So...for about a month every time someone asked Brayden what he was going to be for Halloween he said, "a SCARY tiger." As soon as I realized he wasn't giving up on it, I gave up on my original idea of him being a devil and Brooklyn being an angel. I bought Brooklyn's angel costume after Halloween last year for $3! The week before Halloween I started looking at Kid to Kid for a tiger costume, expecting their costumes to be pretty picked over. The South Jordan store surprised me and they had quite a few costumes left, and they were all 25% off! I started looking, saw a few, but didn't grab them while I was still looking. Of course a lady came in and grabbed the one tiger costume I was most likely going to get. I kept my eye on her the whole time while she tried to convince her daughter to be a tiger. Lucky for me she wanted to be a giraffe. Yeah! I snatched the tiger costume and didn't let it go.

After I bought it I showed Brayden and this is what he said, "Mom. That is a nice tiger. I want to be a SCARY tiger." It took me a while to convince him that he'll make it scary by growling at everyone. He accepted that explanation and we were done with one costume.

I was going to use the angel costume for Brooklyn, but I would have to buy white sweats to go under it. After buying Brayden such a warm costume for only $5, I decided to find a warm one for Brooklyn. The day before Halloween Josh took Brayden to work so Brooklyn and I headed back to the South Jordan Kid to Kid. I found plenty of costumes and narrowed it down to a lamb and a lion. My mom said a lamb is more girly, but the lion costume was adorable. So what do you do? You try them on in the store and ask everyone in the store. Everyone liked the lion costume better, although the lamb was much more girly. One of the employees grabbed an orange bow and clipped it on the lion and my dilemma was solved! The lion costume was adorable with the big bow on it and now Brooklyn can stay warm while trick or treating!
