Halloween Part 1

For school you were supposed to dress as your favorite book character. How awesome it was to come up with 2 costumes! (jk) When I asked you what you wanted to be, you immediately said, "Oh I already know. I want to be the pigeon from "Don't Let the Pigeon Drive the Bus" because he's funny."

I suggested all kinds of girly characaters like Junie B. Jones, Judy Moody, Marisol from Sky Color, or Ramona Quimby. You replied, "Yeah, but Mom it's not Mom picks out kid's favorite book character, the kid gets to pick."

Point taken. For a second you considered some Star Wars characters, but I told you that didn't count, since Star Wars wasn't actually a book first. Then I quizzed you (I'm horrible) - "Do you know the author of the pigeon books?" You replied - "Yes, Mo Willems." Fine, you convinced me. Pigeon, it is!

No face paint or masks were allowed. We made this simple hat and a quote sign. You picked "I'd thought he'd never leave!" which you think is hilarious.

Before school - I guess this is your pigeon face -
Your class picture - I love how committed you are to the costume. You wore it in the car and walked into breakfast with it.
Stay tuned...later you get to wear make-up!
