So every year for Halloween we pick themed costumes && take Wyatt out trick or treating,
This year since Wyatt was old enough to pick his own costume I asked him what he wanted to be... I really wanted to be classic slasher film creatures... && Wyatt kind of heard me out.
He decided to be the notorious PENNY WISE the dancing clown.
I lost it with excitement. But he didn't want to be the O.G. Penny wise. He wanted to be the new 2017 version of Pennywise (played by Bill Skarsgard) that he had seen in the commercials on TV.
I got to work on my plan to make us the coolest costumes on the block!.
Wyatt decided that I would be Georgie && that Aaron would be the O.G Pennywise (played by the legend of horror himself Tim Curry) which I was okay with because the age gap between my husband and son is almost 30 years which works out perfectly...
Unfortunately I hit a snag when I realized that costumes for the new Pennywise did not come in a size 2T. ( Get to work Costumes.com!!!) So I had to go back to the history of Halloween when people actually made their costumes! (for Wyatt, I 100% cheated with Aaron's costume) I went to the little girls section and found a velvet grey sweatsuit and then made each piece that I sewed onto it by hand with yarn, Scrap fabrics, && my imagination.
When it came time to makeup Wyatt sat perfectly still; He knew that if he moved the slightest he may ruin it!, He only itched his face twice throughout the night!. Once the costume was on I had never seen anything more terrifying && adorable at the same time.
He got buckets of candy!, Cars stopped traffic just to tell us (Aaron && myself) how cool of parents we were!, Ladies && A grown man ran to the other side of the street in fear of us!. It was thee most successful Halloween we have had yet!. But my most favorite part of all was seeing how happy my little boy was the whole night!.
I'd give my right arm to go back to that night && do it all over again..😂😉
