Boo...a Halloween Costume Part 1

A Ghost!  He declared.

A Ghost?!  I grimaced.  

A Ghost! He clarified!  

I could do much better than a ghost you know.  I've been sewing costumes for years!  A Ghost is the stereotypical easiest costume in the whole wide world!  Seriously, are you kidding Patrick Finn?  

Alas, my headstrong little boy meant it.  I should have known.  Last year, he insisted for months that he would be Mickey Mouse...It was another easy one, but classic and fun...and he pulled it off well.  I tried so hard this year to convince him to be Max.  You know, Max from Where the Wild Things Are? That way, Joe, Maura, and I could all be Wild Things!  I could have pulled that off too, you know...but no...a ghost it was...and I was going to make it worth it.

So when we walked around Thompson Street on our Halloween, my little ghost ran ahead.  I watched as people strolled by and oogled over his costume.  It was the coolest ghost they'd ever seen!  Did you make that?! They'd ask me.  

Yes, dear friends, I made that for my favorite little boy.
