After we took the kids to the pirate show in Myrtle Beach this summer, they made early decisions on their Halloween costumes for 2013. I was really surprised that neither of them changed their minds in the matter of four months' time, although I did see Kayla waver a bit when she found a Batman costume (not Batgirl with the skirt, but BatMAN) at the Halloween store. With some redirection and a few distractions, I was able to pry the Batman get-up from Kayla's hands. I would have LOVED for her to represent at Halloween this year in a tough superhero costume, but see, I had already ordered the mermaid skirt from an online swim website (that specializes in mermaid tails girls can ACTUALLY swim in....ummm???), and as it was being clearanced out, it was non-returnable. Whew. Crisis averted. Now Kayla doesn't have to show up to the pool next summer in a mermaid tail. Unless she wants to. :)
