The Planter's Man has a Replacement!!
We weren't sure if we were going to dress Wesley up for his first Halloween. He is too young for Trick or Treating so I didn't really get too excited about it. Then he got a birthday invitation to a daycare friend's party where costumes "were encouraged". So...the brainstorming began. The first idea was the "gerber baby". I couldn't figure it out so the next idea (Chris' again) was a "Little Peanut". He does get called that a bit so it was appopriate. It is more than obvious but this is a very "homegrown" peanut costume which explains some of the flaws! I didn't expect it to be warm the day he wore it so I bought a larger size onesie thinking it would fit over other clothes. That wasn't the case. Then, I didn't take into account that a person's hips are as wide as their shoulders. Needless to say we had to do some "destroying/ripping" to get the costume on him. Of course I didn't measure anything ahead of time! Then the little flap hanging down...guess I could have trimmed that but whatever. His little hat was sewn in the car on the way to the party. It all came together and he got some complements...he was pretty darn cute, too!
