When your daughter tells you she wants to dress up as an astronaut for Halloween, it might go something like this...
1. You check yourself and notice that you're stressed out and too busy for costume making this year.
2. Show her the cool princessy, fairy-ish rockstar costumes at walshart in hopes of convincing her to choose that instead.
3. Check yourself and notice that your daughter said she wants to be an astronaut and realize that is the coolest thing ever and heaven help us you're trying to raise a strong woman who can do anything including fly to the moon.
4. Check yourself before you wreck yourself, and make the dang costume!!!
5. Make your first ever ebay purchase....an astronaut helmet for $4.99.
6. Go to your favorite Sherwin Williams for white painters coveralls for $7.99.
7. Send your daughter on her bike to the hardware store for red duct tape.
8. Get out your stapler and that duct tape and work your magic.
9. Dress up your easy-to-please other two children in walshart costumes because you gave all your energy to your astronaut daughter.
10. Dress up as a witch because a) your closet is full of black stuff b) fake eyelashes are a tradition and c) on this one day of the year you get to let your witchy self out to play.
11. Find some friends who will host you for dinner and wear the pink mullet you bring along.
12. Line your kids up for a picture.
Halloween 2013, you were so good to us!!!!!
