We had a hard time coming up with a Halloween costume. Elias wanted to be supermanbatmanspiderman. By the time I got my act together and started looking for costumes, most stores were already selling costumes at clearance. And this was three weeks before Halloween! Apparently people get all crazed out about Halloween when the economy is bad. Seriously. I saw that on CNN.
So I thought of Bob the Builder and knew Elias would love it, but I would have to convince him a little. So I had a great strategy... I pulled up the internet and Elias looked at pictures of Bob the Builder online. Then he played a few Bob the Builder games, we read a BTB story and at the height of his enjoyment, I sprung the big question.
"How would you like to be Bob the Builder for Halloween?"
He was ecstatic.
And I was relieved.

Hi guys. I found your blog. I love to find fellow bloggers.
Elias makes a super cute Bob the Builder!
I love what you did to convince him - I'll have to remember that when Liam is older.
I love that picture of him sleeping! If only I could sleep that sound.
How's adoption stuff? We are almost done with the home study and hope to submit dossier by the first of the year!!!
Wow- that photo of Elias asleep is priceless, something to bring up when he's a teenager!
