The year of the non-costume costume

Carrie and I had lots of costume ideas for Park this year, but when you're dealing with a two year old who doesn't like to have anything on his face, head, arms, legs (well, you get the picture) you eventually have to go the "less is more" route. So after months of brainstorming Park ended up being a Wichita State basketball player … meaning he basically wore a store-bought jersey. To help play off the theme a bit more, Carrie did find an Easter basket online that looked like a basketball and made fun sound effects, so at least we had that.

As far as us, we're not actually in costumes, our primary roles in life right now is as referees (or wardens, depending how you look at it).

Here's Park on the way home after downing four chocolate bars and a package of fruit snacks within a 20 minute time frame.

And here he is reenacting his trick or treating exploits.
