Treat and tired
Of course, on the picture heavy day of the year, I can’t get pictures to upload to Flickr. But you all already know what Fuller’s costume is, so just imagine that and lots of candy.
Ever since Fuller first put on the amazing Captain America costume, we have been counting down the events where Fuller “has” to wear the costume and then retire it to the costume box where Fuller can then put it one whenever he wants. And you would think tonight would be the final event, but it isn’t. Tomorrow we have the Fall costume party for church, then the costume can be retired to the costume box.
Fuller is currently conked out in bed, having fallen asleep soon after hitting his pillow. I can’t say I blame him, since we started our fun yesterday at the library, where costumes were encouraged during the Halloween themed story time. This afternoon we ventured to Toys R Us for a photo op with Geoffery, free candy, and a costume parade. And finally, this evening we headed to the Sunders for trick or treating and a pizza dinner/ birthday celebration. Damon participated by being the great dad who walked the trick or treat walk with Fuller, which ended when Fuller fell down some steps. I stayed at the house and helped pass out the candy.
Fun was had by all (hard not to have fun when there are eight other boys to interact with). And after tomorrow, Fuller can be Captain America whenever he wants.
Damon entered a contest on instructables.com on how he made Fuller’s Captain America costume. If you wanted to check it out and rate it (if you have an instructables account), please feel free. It has received excellent feedback, and my favorite comment so far says, “Just in case you didn’t know, you are a great dad! I hope your son runs for president someday so they can exploit those awesome pictures of him in the campaign literature.” I know Fuller loves his costume and Damon is an awesome dad for spending the hours using his creativity in this way.
