I finished the goldfish costume just in the nick of time. Grayson was able to wear it to school today for their Halloween party. It was the only handmade costume in his class (which gave me a gold star with his teacher), but I must say some of the other kiddos were pretty cute in their own right.
Here are a couple of his friends. Spiderman is one of Gray's best buds, Ethan.
This is Gray's other BFF Baxter. They were born five days apart. Baxter was a dragon and his older brother was a knight. Pretty cute.Other than the costumes, it was all about snack time. Michael and I both managed to make it for the party where I always enjoy watching how Grayson interacts with his friends and teachers. I learned something very interesting about my son today...
It all began like any normal party. The kids gathered around and were excited about the snacks. Grayson went for the grapes before the cheese puffs and cookies which made my heart happy.
One by one the kids got distracted and left the table to go play. Meanwhile, Grayson decided his costume was getting in the way of his snacking ability and asked that we take off his hoodie.
Cut to 10 minutes later and all the kids have been up playing for a while and Gray is still eating.
Finally, about 15 minutes after the party was over (and Grayson was still eating) we decided to take the plate away so he would actually eat a little dinner. I couldn't believe he sat there for so long totally content while all the other kids ran around on a sugar high. This kid is a bottomless pit.

That bottomless pit is just the beginning of "eating you out of house and home" in years to come. But, he did start with the grapes which shows he goes for nutrition first!! Aunt KM
Sounds like he has something in common with his cousin. Holten's daycare fixes his plate like the 4year old's and he usually wants seconds.....Needless to say, he is the last at the table as well! I think they take after their papa!
Great costume! Way to go crafty mama!
