Dress Up At School

This is likely Thomas' last chance to wear his costume to school, as the "big school" is NOT a fan of Halloween activities at all, especially costumes.  Poor Gracie was heartbroken when she went to Kindergarten to find that she couldn't wear her princess costume to school.  I somehow don't think Thomas will be as upset, or maybe even at all, but I am kind of sad that this is the last costume fun at school for mommy.

This year, just like last, Thomas made his mind up early about his Halloween request, and did not waver.

He told me "I am a delivery truck driver."

Well, okay then. 

I had the shirt, I found a cheap pair of brown pants at Walmart, and I had him wear his church shoes to school so he would match.

The hardest part of his ensemble was the hat.  Do you have any idea how hard it is to find a brown baseball hat?!  Hard!

I got lucky and found one last night at Marshall's (for more than I wanted to pay, in fact, more than the rest of his costume cost) minutes before bedtime, and hours before preschool.

I "cheated" and printed out the UPS logo on sticker paper, being sure to print and cut out extras for when they started to peel off.

Thomas loved his costume, and he loved sharing this special school day with his friends.

They were all so cute, and SO excited!!

We parents got to watch as they played games, made crafts, did songs and then had a special lunch/snack that we all contributed to.

Such a fun day to share with Thomas and his friends.
