Or at least, a much shorter version of one. Thanks to horrible winds and a major downpour, our experience was cut a bit short as we headed home in time to watch Charlie Brown. Secretly, I’m glad we threw in the towel so early, I mean, by the time 6:00 rolls around I am one tired broad.

But before all of that pajama goodness happened we dressed up. About three weeks ago, while watching one of our favorite year round movies, “The year without a Santa Claus” Theo looked at me and said “I should be Snow Miser for Halloween because I’m tall and skinny, and Elliot should be Heat Miser because he is short and fat”. After explaining for 10 minutes that fat is not a nice word, and just because  Elliot is smaller than him, that it doesn’t necessarily mean that he is fat. After that endearing parenting talk, I agreed. What a freaking great idea. I mean, and Theo was so Miserly when he said it…almost like I could envision the icicles hanging from his nose, but I did what every good parent does and I played hard to get while in my head I was really thinking,  “wow, just when you think you’re really crapping up this parent thing, something happens and makes you realize that you’re doing it all right“.

Like Seriously.

My kid chose on his own to be a timeless character, and well the other one, he went along with anything his big brother wanted because he gets treats.

Really it was a win-win for everyone involved, but I’ll shut up now so you can just bask in the cuteness.

 Please just baaasssskkkk, you know, in the spirit of Halloween and all.
