At first Boe wanted to be a trash man (fitting), but gave it up when he realized he would need to wear a construction hat. Luckilly I had not been able to track down a shirt (like the one we saw at the Sanitation Open House in May), so my heart was not broken. About a week before we were reading Richard Scarry books (for the kazillionth time) when it suddenly occured to me that Boe had to be Huckle the Cat for Halloween. When I asked him if that was what he wanted to be, he eagerly responded "yes". This made me super giddy (I know, pathetic) that he was thrilled to be a book character! So, being that I only had a week, I had to get the sewing machine running full speed to make the get up. Most importantly I had to master mind a way to make Lowly Worm. This was going to make the costume. No, this was going to help make the costume; Boe was going to make the costume!
We had a few occasions to show off how cute Boe looked, both at school and at his little friend's Halloween dinner and treating party! Although he was a champ about wearing the kitty ears, he would not stand still for any photos (boo hoo).
Decent night photo, no Lowly
