When I was sick over Labor Day weekend Jon told Elijah and I a silly story as we were going to sleep in the hotel room in Canada. Our story was about going trick-or-treating, and Elijah got to pick the costumes that everyone was dressed up in. Eli was a toucan, Mommy was also a toucan, Daddy was a monkey, Matea was a butterfly, Tori was a football player, Lexi was a flower, and Noah was a blueberry.
Well, after that I had to try and find a toucan outfit for Halloween for Eli . . . but after exhaustively searching the Internet could only come up with a pattern to make one. Which was not going to happen. Then I was in Old Navy doing a little shopping and came across a dragon costume. Well, Elijah loves to pretend to be a dragon (I was actually quite certain he was going to pick to be a dragon in the story) and it was perfect for him. So I scrapped the toucan idea and picked up the dragon costume.
When I got home and showed it to Eli he was beyond excited and almost in the realm of spastically happy.
He wanted to put it on right away of course . . .
He wasn't too sure about the dragon head though . . . 
And he wanted to see himself in the mirror and ROAR!
Then Eli wanted Daddy to wear his dragon outfit . . .
And that's the scariest dragon of all!
Elijah told Lexi and Tori all about it right away the next time he saw them and gave them a peek at what he looks like in it. I can't wait for Halloween!
