Boo!

Saturday was Boo at the Zoo, a ridiculously expensive opportunity for kids to walk around the zoo in costume and load up on enough sugar to last them until Halloween.

Thanks to the inventor of the hot glue gun, AJ was able to dress up as a knight. Mommy beamed with pride when a Zoo worker complimented him on his cool costume.

And Sydney was a... grouch. Instead of Cookie Monster, she was simply a grumpy monster.

The bunny idea? Forget it! I made a cute pom pom tail to attach to her sleeper, and she threw a fit. I pulled out the adorable bunny ear hat I found at a consignment shop, and she threw it on the ground. So what you see here is what I'm calling Tundra Tinkerbell. It's her favorite fairy costume, covered by coat and boots. Kind of a Cindy Lauper look, if you ask me. Too bad this girl didn't seem to want to have fun.


That didn't stop AJ from having fun. Despite Daddy's fears that the too tall hat made him look like a grand wizard (as in, KKK), no one else seemed to misinterpret the costume. In fact, Sir AJ managed to find a scurvy pirate who was more than willing to join him for a sword fight.
AAAARRRGGGHHHH!
