Halloween is coming soon! I look forward to it ALL year...it is, of course, the only day of the year you can be whatever you want and not catch any slack about it.
I had been asking Mason what he wanted to be for Halloween for a couple of weeks. I do this 1.) because he's 5 and indecisive, and 2.) because if you don't get your costume ordered or picked out, you don't get to be what you want. Well, we received a Pottery Barn catalog in the mail last week and on the cover was this FABULOUS shark costume. Yes, you read it...FABULOUS! Photos really do this costume no justice.
These are the faces I get any time I take Mason's photos. Is it a boy thing, a Mason thing or just a 5-year old thing? At least he looks like a scary shark.
You must be thinking, "Pottery Barn? She must have paid a fortune for this Halloween's costume." Nay...I did not! I have a friend that works at Pottery Barn and, to those of you that don't know about this benefit, they receive a 40% discount and are always willing to share. See, now you're thinking, "Holy cow! What a great costume...and she got it for a STEAL!" This is the treat bag. I figure, I am already saving a small fortune on this costume...it may as well be complete.
Wowzers...what a scary face! 
It only took me tickling him and threatening the biggest zrbert of his life to get this face. Happy Halloween! Pumpkin patch photos to come...stay tuned...

I will be sure to stay out of any waters I see him in.....He's scary!
That shark costume is 100 times better than any costume I ever had as a kid. I wonder if costumes are getting better and cheaper or if it's because my family was so poor growing up that we couldn't afford the nice costumes. Thanks for this little stroll down memory lane.
I never had a good costume either...but I think that is mainly because my mother HATES Halloween. We get nice costumes cuz I make it a priority and because I know that Mason will wear it more than just that one time. So far, he has worn it every day since we got it. Good time fun for a 5 year old!
Halloween - BAH!
My poor grandson has been swallowed by a shark and all you can do is take pictures?

You did not like being PacMan? I put a lot of work into that costume. I'm crushed. Oh well I must not have ruined the "so-called" holiday for you too much.
I was just talking about that PacMan costume yesterday. Good idea for a costume...but not very safe considering I couldn't see but in front of me. Trick-or-Treat!
