The things that grandma's let them do

 

i consider myself a mostly fun mom.
i have to say that i am working on becoming more fun.

there is something about grandma's house where the boundries know no limits
things that grandmas not only do but encourage

hudson usually pretends that he is calvin.
not hobbes.
today was different.
he wanted to be the tiger.
i guess that grandma was all out of orange lipstick.

it stayed on a long time.
it was a little embarrassing to explain to the school nurse when he had to lift up his shirt for her.
she did have a good laugh over it.


 

100 cool

 
this is the FIRST year that hudson has EVER worn a costume
you can not count last year when he dressed up as calvin{from calvin and hobbes}because that is what he would do everyday.
this year was different.
this year it was his idea.
that was the key.
HIS idea.

 
i need to point out that his first choice was to be an onion.
you heard me right.
AN ONION
he even drew me very specific directions for that onion costume.{that is a post for later}
i couldn't do it.
i could not have his first real halloween costume be an onion.
this was the next best.

 
amazingly enough he kept it on for the entire harvest festival.
if you know this kid you would know what a huge accomplishment this is for him.
he even ate his chocolate cupcake with it on.
and his chips with hot cheese {nachos}
when we got back in the car i told him how proud i was of him for making it the whole time.
he put his hands behind his head and told me "mom, i am so cool. no, i am 100 cool"
i guess that is even better.
