Decisions, decisions

We are fully immersed in the pre-Halloween costume wrangling. We’d settled on Laura as Princess Leia, until she thought maybe it’d be more fun to be Harry Potter’s friend Hermione Granger. Every single year she thinks she wants to be Hermione, and every single year she changes her mind. Except this year, when now she thinks maybe she’d like to be Hermoine after all. Naturally this year you couldn’t find a Harry Potter costume if your life depended on it.

William AKA Batman AKA Naked Boy can’t quite seem to make up his mind either. He still runs around wearing his Batman cape and mask (and often nothing else), but since I’ve started thinking I might be a cowgirl, suddenly he thinks he might like to be a cowboy. Who’d have thought! Maybe I can round up some pseudo suede for vests—I think we both have hats already. Since he’ll change his mind another five times before the party, it’s hard to get too worked up about it. Laura used to change her mind—and her costume—even during the party. He’ll be something before the end.
