Well, not the whole dream. I'm pretty sure David's dream also included flinging his littlest brother out of a window and trying to catch him in a cup of water. I'm such a party pooper.
We borrowed our neighbor's firefighter costumes and I made a bow tie and little hat for John Michael along with Timothy Q. Mouse who obviously needed to come along for the ride as well :)
Including the bulk pack of clown noses I bought on Amazon I think I spent about $6 total. Yay for Halloween thriftiness!
I wasn't going to do the whole burning building thing, but this morning, in a sudden fit of Halloween spirit, I told the boys we could make it after all. They were super excited about it......and then really disappointed because I wouldn't also make them cardboard sides for their wagon to turn it into a fire engine.
Ah, gratitude.
I'll let you take a guess at how long those clown noses stayed on.
Chris told everyone at work that he was in the clear and that I didn't possibly have enough energy to make the building today. He was super surprised to find it waiting for him when he got home from work!
Don't you just love husbands who are good sports :)
Oh my, you all are WAY too cute!!! I love this :)
ReplyDeleteI just can't say it enough, this is so cute and so unique! I love it!! Good job!!
ReplyDeleteJust found your blog through Catholic All Year. My little boys were firemen also. They are 4.5 and 2.5. They got into an argument over who was the driver of their imaginary fire truck and whether the driver also got to use the imaginary fire hose. Love your burning building!
ReplyDeleteThank you! We also had an ongoing argument all evening over which one was the fire chief and which one was just a mere firefighter :)
DeleteReally love the whole set of costumes! Little "Dumbo" is awe fully cute!

ReplyDeleteOnce again, your boys win the cuteness award by a mile!
ReplyDeleteThose are awesome costumes! Can't wait until ours are a bit bigger and can enjoy dressing up and trick or treating. We're a military family as well, but stationed a bit farther north where we get at least a smidgie of winter - maybe half an inch of snow a winter. Your comments about the weather kept giving me uncomfortable flashbacks to our last posting in South Texas though. Shorts and air conditioning on Christmas. I hated it :).
ReplyDeleteThanks! Your twins are super cute too! I really miss real Christmas here--my only opinion on our next duty station is that it be north....and also not Guam :)
DeleteCome north again!!
ReplyDeleteSo, so cute! Love the family costumes. Love them!
