Dusty the Crop Duster

October, you've arrived. Welcome glorious month of birthdays and costumes! I'm so looking forward to all 31 of your days and nights. 

And tonight, I could not be more excited, because I have just finished making what will perhaps be Parker's Halloween Costume. After making it, I realize it is a little bit large, so it may just end up being MY Halloween Costume -- we shall see. I think I look pretty good in it!

Gotta prop up those wings...

Those of us who know #UnforgettableParker are likely surprised that I did not make some type of automobile costume. The truth is that Parker seems to have moved on from Pixar's Cars in favor of Disney's Planes these days. It's a welcome break from the Cars story lines, yes. But I admit a small piece of me misses singing Sheryl Crow's "Real Gone" from the first movie and Weezer's "You Might Think" from Cars 2. I'm not worried, Parker still carries his cars around the house the entire day, from his bed, to breakfast, to the bathroom for any and all diaper changes...

Should his passion for all things "Dusty the Crop Duster" fade by October 31, I'm certain I can whip up another costume. Because to be honest, this little arts and craft session, though intense, was actually SO. MUCH. FUN. We can always have an airplane-themed second birthday party, right?
