Look at Me!

Matt and I took the little people to the costume shop and as always I brought my camera. I think Addy is wearing a mouse face, she tried on so many I can't remember which mask this was. I love that for now, being silly is fun for the kiddos. I'm not sure at exactly what age acting crazy is more embarrassing for kids rather than fun. Maybe it is an individual thing, because I know being a little silly is how I get through my day! I can remember Alexys wearing a pair of swim goggles that had the Little Mermaid on them, everywhere we went for quite a while. The goggles were practically the same size as her head! People did double takes when they would first see her. She just looked back at them and smiled as if there was nothing strange with what she was wearing. Matt has been the parent that is not as comfortable with the kids going out in public in things that are not everyday wear. For me, I see it as one less thing to have to fight with them about. Also, I think it is kind of cute. I love to see Addy in her princess dresses and with a crown on her head. I think it is cute when the boys come traipsing down the hallway with Matt's work shoes or his cleats on. Usually they are only wearing a diaper at the same time. They obviously aren't shy and don't care what people think--yet. Our boys were running down the sidewalk just this afternoon with a t-shirt and no pants, and it did not seem to bother them a bit!
