donald and drew’s Halloween obsession; Star Wars has landed
Posted on Sunday, August 31st, 2008 at 9:22 pmDonald and his brother, Drew, talk about Halloween all the time.
Every time Donald comes home from spending time with his brother, he’s come up with some new theme that Joshua and Jaxon (Drew’s son) can dress up for Halloween. Most of them are Star Wars Themed.
What are the ideas I’ve heard so far? I’ve heard so many my head is swimming. Yoda, C3-PO, the Hulk, Ewoks….. They have been hatching up schemes since Joshua was 2 days old. Halloween is two months away.
I suggested that we dress up Joshua like a pumpkin. What was Donald’s response? “No. It’s his first Halloween.” Donald has been asking me when Children’s Orchard is having their costume sale. Good gravy.
Donald wants to make Joshua a Star Wars themed room. I was hoping Donald would carry the Truck/Train/Airplane theme, but apparently I have been outvoted. Donald, ever since we were dating, told me he wanted to be a daddy. He has always wanted kids, even more than I did. So, I am not going to tell Donald no. I understand he’s been dreaming of his son carrying on his Star Wars fandom (or obsession??), and I am going to be happy for him and let him do it.
When we have a girl, though, her room is going to be decorated in My Little Ponies and Breyer Horses. End of story.
First, I never said that n response to the pumpkin suggestion. I just don’t think it’d be the best choice since he’ll be 6 months old and (hopefully) crawling on Halloween. Pumpkin outfits are cuter on non-mobile babies, or else on walking toddlers.
And the Star Wars themed bedroom is negotiable, since we’ll already have my figures & vehicles on display in our family room.
You guys are hilarious. I’m off to buy stock in My Little Pony–
LOL! That is so something my husband would want to do. He works in a movie theater and brings home posters ALL the time. We also live in a small apartment so we don’t have a movie room to put them but I made our half bath a movie room. It’s very heavy on Star Wars, with a signed picture of Darth Vader. And he wants to get an R2D2 costume for our daughter.
