It's the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown...

I ADORE ADORE ADORE Peanuts. And I have raised my kids to adore them, too. I love how excited they still get (even the 16 year old) when a Peanuts special comes on tv.

So the Great Pumpkin was on the other night and not only did it provoke an impromtu family night, it solved a huge headache inducing dilemma.

Pete has been going back and forth with his costume ideas. Bruce Lee, Indiana Jones, Biker, Old Man, Middle Aged Man (whatever that means). He was about to drive me crazy And then poof! We figured it out.

Remember how Charlie Brown tried to make his ghost costume and when he cut out his eyes out of his sheet he made a hundred holes? Then he got a rock instead of candy? Poor Charlie Brown...

But Yay us, we finally have a costume this kid can live with! I got a cheap sheet at Wal Mart and glued a bunch of black felt circles all over it. He'll carry a brown paper bag with the words, "I got a rock" on it. I downloaded a Peanuts font for this purpose. It's so cool.

I'll add pictures tomorrow.
