Party Time!

       
The Girls are Back in Town (or Left in Town rather)

Hubby went with the guys to Michigan this weekend for the Penn St./Michigan game. So, that leaves us wives back home with all the kiddos. In an effort to “out fun” the guys, we’re having a big “moms and kids” sleepover tonight. Potentially there will be 5 moms, and 10 kids (with a minimum of 4 moms, 8 kids). Something tells me the men will NOT envy our get together tonight! That said, we plan on an evening of total indulgence for both the adults AND the kids.

Costume Mystery and Mayhem
Well, I bought an adorable cat costume for my daughter two weeks ago. And a good friend gave me an awesome Buzz Lightyear costume for my son (with light up wings and everything).

Problem 1: Daughter has already managed to “lose” her cat ears and tail. I haven’t helped look for them yet, but wish me luck on finding them - I can't imagine they've gone very far.  I refuse to buy a second costume!

Problem 2: Son will NOT put on the Buzz Lightyear costume. So, I’ve now started Costume Exposure Therapy. I’ve been putting it out in front of him, tempting him to at least put a leg in the suit. I’ve even had my daughter put it on so he could see it on someone (even though it’s 4 sizes too small for her). No luck yet. I don’t know if I need to
      a) push the issue, forcing him into it
      b) have him go costume-less or
      c) just get him something he will wear.

Now, of course, if either of them wanted more shoes, I'd buy THOSE in a heartbeat.  One can never have enough shoes.  :)
