Today I rue the candy corn binge of yesterday

Oh, did I ever overindulge. My abdomen bulges and shakes, crammed with 40 grams of carnauba wax and corn syrup. Ow. And we didn’t even get to the trick-or-treating yet!

In the meantime, I pulled a Halloween costume out of thin air.

He wanted to be a Worker Guy, one of those guys in the fluorescent vests who stand by the side of the road and eat lunch (or fix culverts, or whatever it is they do). I obliged best I could. I can see how flawed it is, but when I presented the costume to him, I wish you could have seen his eyes light up. And I wish you could have heard him ask me to make a perry-chicker, or a concrete mixer, because you would have heard in his voice the absolute confidence that his mother was capable of anything.

I think it is adorable! The best costumes are not store bought.

The best masks are made by those people who make them for the movies though. hehe
