A Dream Come True

Tonight is trunk or treat at our church. The kids go around the parking lot dressed up and trick or treat out of peoples trunks. It is really fun and my kids like it better than the real trick or treat. But don't think I am getting out of that just because of trunk or treat tonight. No no my kids are much to smart for that! We'll be rounding the neighborhood tomorrow night.

Carson has wanted to be Mario for three years in a row now. I am a totally lame mom and have never come up with the costume. The other night while I was at a bread making class, (taught by non other than the supper domestic goddess Mindy Huffines) us moms were sitting around talking about what our kids are going to be for Halloween. I announced that for a third year in a row I was grasping at straws for Carson's costume. One of the other moms announced that her and her husband were going to dress up as Mario and Luigi. I told her about Carson's true dream in life to be Mario for Halloween. Kirsten offered to make Carson a costume for me. I will be indebted to this women for the rest of my life. She made the best costume ever! Carson was thrilled. After we left her house we went to Walmart to get a long sleeve red shirt and of course he wore his costume in the store. Some one said, "Hey, look there's Mario!" Carson looked up at me with a HUGE grin and said, "Mom, I think that kid thinks I'm the REAL Mario!" It is going to be a great Halloween! Kirsten, thanks a million for making Carson's dream come true!
