<\/p>I am a big fan of Halloween! \u00a0I had 3 really cute hand me down costumes for my son to choose from this year including\u00a0Mickey, a lion and a tiger. \u00a0Andrew refused to wear any of the three. \u00a0I was not about to waste the money on a new costume seeing as how he had no interest and the costumes are quite expensive these days. \u00a0So, I attempted to make my son a dump truck since that is all he talks about. \u00a0I used an empty computer paper box, yard stick for straight lines, children\u2019s paint and purchased two thick straps from the fabric store. \u00a0I looked at a few of his dump trucks for inspiration and created a dump truck. \u00a0Unfortunately, while Andrew loved to look at it, he refused to put it on. \u00a0I tried to entice him even further by adding Bob The Builder pictures I printed off line and added his construction outfit to the costume.\n

Still, no dice. \u00a0We ended up finding a superman costume on clearance before Halloween that resembled pajamas and this was a win for us all! \u00a0I guess as long as it was not a costume he was happy.<\/p>\n

I didn\u2019t push the issue with the dump truck. \u00a0Maybe next year. \u00a0Funny thing about this was after returning from a trip to Florida in November Andrew came home and found the dump truck like he had never seen it before. \u00a0He spent the afternoon playing with it and wanting to wear it. \u00a0You have to laugh a bit at the irony there.<\/p>\n

We had a Frozen party this winter at our church. \u00a0That had to be one of the nicest family events I have been to. \u00a0Of course, my daughter wanted to be Anna. \u00a0She \u00a0has been Anna so many times and loves everything Anna. \u00a0I didn\u2019t know what to do for Andrew since I wasn\u2019t sure if he would even consider putting on a costume. \u00a0So, I googled Kristoff costumes and with an old blue polo, hot glue gun, my husbands old tie, purple ribbon and some poor excuses for stitches (I can\u2019t sew well) I put together a costume. \u00a0Believe it or not, he wore it and it cost nothing. \u00a0The evening was a blast and he was the only Kristoff there!<\/p>\n
