Costumes on DEMAND!

OK this story is a bit long so bare with me. Thursday night after I got home from Babysitting and was preparing to tackle, homework, dinner & the MOUNTAIN of dishes waiting for me on the counter (I am VERY good at multi-tasking) Daniel & Sam said "tomorrow we have to dress up for school like a story book character." I figured NO PROBLEMO! Till they told me what they were going to be. Sam picked a Snow-boy from his book "Snowballs" and Daniel picked a Robot from his book "If I had a robot". I figured OK they are trying to give me a nervous breakdown tonight. Sam's being the easiest he & I started that while I was back & forth with the other stuff I mentioned. He was pleased in the end & so was I. Then came Daniels MUCH more complicated! THANKS BOYS FOR GIVING ME AT LEAST ONE NIGHTS NOTICE! Anyway, I worked on it even after they went to bed. we didn't have a head at the time & I figured what we did would have to be enough. Daniel came out crying his eyes out cause he felt it didn't looked finished. We sent him back to bed. I then felt guilty & managed to come up with a helmet, & leaving it on the table for a breakfast surprise. He was tickled when he got up!! Off to school they went. They got off the bus this afternoon & even the bus driver gave me a thumbs up. They BOTH won their classrooms 1st place prize & Daniel even won the best in the school prize of $5.00. I was sooo happy for them I cried! I never expected either of them to get a prize! I was just happy that they were happy with what I was able to put together for them in such short notice. LOVE THE MEMORIES!!!
